Ubuntu 23.10’s New Software App Will Demote DEBs (Apparently)

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.

It's just because I'm a newbie – having been using Linux for one year, and started with Ubuntu simply because that was shipped ready with my laptop. I haven't found the time to try any other distro yet, because of work & lack of time.
Indeed I remember I was thinking about moving to Linux years ago, exactly when the Amazon-Ubuntu craziness happened, so I thought "some other time".
Regarding snap & flatpak: I simply don't like the redundancy philosophy behind them.
If it works, don't switch distros. There's always an OS which does sth. better.
That's also true! Sometimes out of curiosity I might explore with "live cd"s rather than really reinstalling a distro.
Trying sth new is never a bad idea. From live cd's, over vm's or distrobox containers, it makes you more comfortable in switching between environments.
@pglpm @EddyBot I think Fedora or Pop!_OS will be your home. 🥰
Thanks for the tip!
