As much as I dislike Ubuntu, I wouldn’t use Fedora, sponsored by Red Hat, a US company, either. LMDE is the way.

All of Linux is sponsored by Red Hat

Amongst others, yes. But not every distro is red hat’s testing ground, and not every distro operates under US jurisdiction. I’m sure you do actually know the difference.

Is not Fedora independent of red hat?

Except for the upstream (or downstream since they are bleeding edge) development, I always assume they are isolated from red hat influence.

Iirc, a crapton of RH ppl work on Fedora, since it’s their “sandbox for RHEL” distro.

And while I fuckin’ HATE what IBM/RH BS tries to pull in some areas, it doesn’t prevent me from running Fedora derivatives daily.

Ubuntu is just like Windows now, you have to run a debloater to make it usable.

The debloater? Debian.

I use popOS and never had a problem with snaps. They’re not nearly as bad as flatpak. I avoid those like the plague.

Both are rubbish in my experience - both on the development side and installation side. To be honest I don’t love building any of the package formats for Linux, and prefer installing deb/rpm. Old school I guess.

There is a reason I put arch on my latest computer. I will give it a few months to be sure but I’m thinking of swicthing. details matter so when printing doesn’t ‘just work’ in one program with a print dialog I know snap is not ready for ubuntus target.
