Same, I feel at home in the Cinnamon DE and no matter how tech savvy I am, the GUI software installer is so much more convenient than using the terminal
Canonical’s changes to apt could be considered malicious in and of themselves because it installs from a source you didn’t request for, sure seems malicious to me.
This. This is what really pissed me off about Ubuntu. I even uninstalled (or thought I did) the entire snapd system. But then I went to install something and…it reinstalled snapd. 🤦
So I moved to Linux Mint which was an excellent experience. And just the other day I replaced that with LMDE 6 (Linux Mint Debian Edition) and I couldn’t be happier.
It’s the ideal distro for anyone who wants apt but not Ubuntu and doesn’t want the pain of manually installing Debian.
Good thing I can just install applications from
aptinstead…user@pc:~$: sudo apt install app The following additional packages will be installed: snapd…oh.
The reason why I’ll switch to Debian soon.
IMO Linux Mint is a great replacement, too, although it does not come with the default-Gnome desktop layout
I always find myself going back to Mint.

Agreed. Switching out .deb packages in the package manager for snap stubs was a bridge too far, and I went back to Debian.
Yea, not with
firefox, at least not without switching to some third party repo.This. This is what really pissed me off about Ubuntu. I even uninstalled (or thought I did) the entire snapd system. But then I went to install something and…it reinstalled snapd. 🤦

Just use Fedora
No way. That’s another Corporation backed distro. Most of the Devs are also Red Hat employees
DNF is pretty good, snap i wouldn’t touch with a 100 meter pole
