Is it me or Ubuntu secretly replaces DEB Firefox with Snap Firefox?

I'd suggest the KDE flavor of Debian, then. Its settings manager is divine, and its software management platform ties every other package management system in (apt/dpkg for Debian, yum for Redhat, pacman for Arch, plus flatpak, nixpkg, and even snaps if you absolutely must). By default starting in Plasma 6.0.

You can get Gnome on Fedora. It won't have Apt.
Packages will have a different naming scheme based on the maintainers' preferences, even between Debian and Ubuntu (though those are usually pretty minor).
Your muscle memory is gonna trip you up for a while though.

Uhh, that's a thing in any modern distro? I plug and unplug SATA drives all the time.

[fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com]

Ahhh yea, that would make sense.

Have you correctly set your apt preferences? I didn't have any issues anymore since I've done that.

It was the KDE version.

It depends on the fstab mount flags, specifically nofail.

That snap shit was so bad it made me switch to Arch.

Why use Mint when Mx exists.

[mwa@lemm.ee]

They have been doing this for a while.

Would recommend you to stick to MX,Mint or if you care only about stability and not Updates debian.
