Oh yeah I forgot about those, I think I actually disabled the snap service, or maybe I have a couple of things via snap but only small gui utilities. I use apt and dpkg for everything else, but it was annoying that they made Firefox snap only since 22.04 unless you add the extra apt repository. Easy enough to work around it and move on though.
When I have even the smallest bit of time and headspace to dedicate to it, I will switch back to Debian as it was always my favourite but really can’t deal with it at the moment.
I really did not like the process of upgrading from one stable version of Debian to the next. It went OK, but i remember being anxious the whole time, compared to Ubuntu’s gui workflow, and failing that, the one-command cli version that i always have to look up
I use Ubuntu at work. I don’t even care, it’s legit 500% faster than my work Windows laptop, despite being objectively lower-speccd.
I use nobara at home. Windows free in my personal life for like a decade at least now. I wanted something solid out of the box, not atomic (I like the idea I just think it’s overkill for a home workstation. The sheepdog is a pet, not part of flock), fedora based with good brtfs support.
But Ubuntu is good enough. Not as if “better than windows” is a particularly high bar, though.
Nothing wrong with Ubuntu if you just wanna get stuff done and don’t have a genuine interest in (or time to spend on) tweaking your OS.
I use Ubuntu btw.
What about snaps though?
Honestly asking since I’ve never actually used them

Fuck snaps.
https://ludocode.com/blog/flatpak-is-not-the-future <— talks about snaps for a bit too
There is lots wrong with Canonical imho, but this isn’t the place for it.
Debian here. IMO “btw” is reserved for a particular distribution and you know which one it is.
I do CrossFit btw.
As of the latest dumpster fires over there, they’re wanting to hide it nowadays!
Dumpster fires? Do you mean the untrusted repository of user-submitted build scripts getting malicious user-submitted content? :P
Keep your official packages and AUR separate, if nothing else at least don’t pull from both sources with the same command
I don’t know how Arch works as a Minter here. That’s good that there’s a separation line… Not sure if Mint’s Software Mgr has that…

Linux Mint Debian Edition is just great for that case. If I were not so much into fedora’s rpm-ostree I would be using that, or MX Linux.
Dude, right? I’ve thought about switching to cachy or something, but every time I just can’t bring myself to give up ostree.
What do you mean?
I like Debian, it is boring in the best way.

I hope this is close enough.

Same here. I use Ubuntu BTW.
