From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Good thing I can just install applications from apt instead...

user@pc:~$: sudo apt install app
The following additional packages will be installed:
    snapd

....oh.

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.

No way. That's another Corporation backed distro. Most of the Devs are also Red Hat employees
