      The biggest one: Snaps.

      I switched from Ubuntu to Debian, and it’s basically the same thing, just faster since it uses native packages instead of Snaps. Ubuntu might as well run all it’s apps in Docker containers.

      You could rebrand Debian to Ubuntu and most users wouldn’t even notice.

        I agree, I switched from Ubuntu to MX Linux in 2016 or so, MX is based on Debian, always up to date, just works, Xfce, .deb, no snap, etc

      These days it’s mainly snap and how you can type apt install and the system will do snap install instead, for firefox for example.

      “Bloat” the less system there is (while still working as a modern system) the better. If i need something i can install it myself.
