This sounds so like me! I also keep my Windows laptop just in case I need something out of it. I'm also planning to move the Windows OS to an Intel NUC and then install Linux on the laptop as well, perhaps a distro I haven't tried!
I've thought about going the NUC route, but I have a laptop that's not in use much and it's got some pretty decent specs so my boss and I decided not to spend the money.
I've stuck with Ubuntu so far only because it's so ubiquitous that I can hunt down information on any topic easily and its what I know and since I'm using it as my daily driver for work, consistency and stability are all I need from my distro. The bells and whistles don't matter too much to me because it can all be customized regardless of the distro.
I've been doing some work with raspberry pis and I've been thinking about exploring different distros there. It's always fun to keep exploring.
I agree that the NUC will require some extra cash to spend. I also enjoy the fact that you can easily access any information about Ubuntu and if you run into an issue this is already been discussed, troubleshoot and resolved in the community as well.
