Ubuntu is debian with more frequenty releases
This is true, and sometimes it's good to remain a bit more current than Debian stable.
and more breakage [...] Upgrades sometimes break. That's not been my experience, I find very, *very* little breakage.
Although, phrased as "more breakage" might mean Debian *never* breaks? Admittedly, I do hold off on updating a bit so any kinks are worked out, but the only breakage I can recall was when KDEneon goofed on the otherwise excellent roll-out of Plasma6 where one of their releases broke due to human error. Pretty embarrassing for a distro that's "KDE devs' KDE distro", for sure. Not an Ubuntu issue though.
(fixed release schedules will never work)
I like them, they do cause some last-minute updates to be left out, and probably some to be rushed, but it is nice to know that the LTS releases (Long Term Support - all that I'll touch) release every two years, in April. No mental calculations on "when was this released, how old is it?"
