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

They delivered their promise: they were at least not evil, at first.

I've had it happen too. In fact it is what prompted me to move away from Kubuntu.

Welcome to 2020, where Debian is once again your trusted distro.

I suggest Mint or straight Debian. I prefer Mint for anything graphical, Debian for headless

What benifit does Mint have over Debian for anything graphical?

[revan343@lemmy.ca]

I've just found it's more polished right out of the box. Definitely more new-user-friendly, like Ubuntu, but with Snap gutted out.

I have been using the regular Mint (based on Ubuntu), but I'm probably going to use the Debian edition next time I install a new system

Just wait for snap 2.0 which actually runs everything inside docker containers /s

It's not barebones. I use it as my main desktop and barely notice any difference from Ubuntu, it has every package I've ever needed. I think that mentality of Debian being "bare" is outdated.

[fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com]

Thats... odd. The installer packages aren't really that different. When was this?

[txtechnician@lemmy.ml]

I battled that for about a year and then ditched Debian based diatros altogether.

OpenSUSE ftw
