I was fine with Ubuntu until they started Snappifying every package and replacing the .deb packages in apt with stubs for their Snaps. All of the other annoyances were manageable, but that was a bridge too far.
If I type apt-get install foo, I expect apt to resolve the dependencies for the foo package and install those. Instead, Ubuntu replaces the foo package with a stub that downloads the snap for it instead (as well as snapd if you have chosen to remove it).
Before that, Ubuntu was fine albeit a little bloated. I’ve since gone back to vanilla Debian and couldn’t be happier.
