Ubuntu LTS, but in the process of replacing it with Debian

What benefit do you expect to get from this switch? Just wondering why there are so many Debian over Ubuntu in this thread

[-] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

There has been some technical decisions over the last few years that I don't think fit my needs terribly well; chief of these is the push for Snaps - they are a proprietary distribution format, that adds significant overhead without any real benefit, and Canonical has been pushing more and more functionality into Snap
I previously chose Ubuntu over Debian because I needed more up to date versions of things like Python and PHP, with Docker this isn't really a concern any more, so slower, more conservative approach Debian takes isn't as big of an issue
