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.

Ah I get it, it's really solid so I don't think you'd have regrets, plus you get up to date software!
Ubuntu is really just meh these days, it is still pretty reliable, but it doesn't look like they're really caring a lot about their users, just my outsider opinion, as I left it a few years ago now
i could really use a take such as yours. there necessarily should be a reason why u changed distros. now my doubts are getting confirmed
I did it for 3 reasons:
Today I still wouldn't use it for their push of Snap, I just don't dig it, I much prefer Flatpak for my apps
i am no dev but also i dont like when other stuff break when i install new stuff and have to spend hours looking up guides to troubleshoot. so at least we share a common middle ground
