It's my favorite desktop OS, mainly due to it just being Debian with
updated  packages and  a millionaire behind it.   Security?  Various
security kernel patches are trivial to patch in to Ubuntu, and the general
packages themselves, at least in the core repositories, are patched
regularly.   Extensibility?  It's Linux.  Community?  They're a bit too
sugary for my taste, but they're extremely helpful (see: ubuntuforums.org).

What uses do you have planned for it?  Any specific questions?
