These are the choices I'm aware of for the Pi 2:

  1. Snappy, which is specialized and uses a read-only filesystem.

  2. A normative Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with PPA's for pi specific stuff.

  3. A Mate based 15.04 distro pointed out by Steve.

  4. Using any Ubuntu ARMv7 distro and adapting it appropriately (that talks about Fedora, but the methodology is the same for any GNU/Linux system). Since these are mostly likely LTS releases, there's not much point in this in light of #2.
