Ubuntu. I think of it as the Yahoo of linux distros. It used to be good, but then they made terrible decisions that ultimately made them irrelevant.
Seeing Ubuntu now is like seeing your (previously) favourite musician, sold out and washed up.
More like OpenOffice. It still has some power on its branding, but new users should stay away from it and go for LibreOffice, that is any other main distro (Arch, openSUSE, Linux Mint, Debian, etc.). There's nothing exciting happening in Ubuntu anymore, but a lot of people still know its name.
I wish it were irrelevant. It's the default in a lot of non-hobby use cases. Even if it's nobody's favorite, switching requires a business reason and certain degree of consensus among devs/managers/partners/customers.
