8.10 was the last good Ubuntu. (It also had the best default wallpaper ever)

If you look at the "improvements" in every release since, you'll notice that shit like they do currently isn't an accident:

9.04 integrated web services into the main user interface.
9.10 integrated Ubuntu One (Ubuntu's OneDrive, upgradable for money) by default and introduced the slooooow Ubuntu Software Center
10.04 integrated an interface to post on social media
10.10 added app purchases in the Software Center
11.04 made Unity the default
11.10 removed Gnome as fallback to Unity
12.04 introduced the buggy HUD
12.10 added the famous Amazon ad lense to it by default

and it goes on like this...

Looks like a NiN album cover.

Trisquel GNU/Linux, is Ubuntu with all the non-free packages removed. Don't see any of that stuff.

I also am very fond of 8.10. It was my first exposure to Linux :)
