There are enough people on here to where Ubuntu or Kubuntu are
probably good options for getting mailing list support.

I was just venting a bit about the non-standard stuff and hoping
that people would keep the docs issue in perspective.

Really, nearly _any_ Unix/Linux is a good thing to move to, whether
it follows some generally accepted standard for
commands/administration methods or not.

Stick with what you've got if it's working.  There's plenty of time
later to get opinionated as to what's the best Linux.  I've had a
few years to do it myself (like nearly 15).  ;-)
