   Some are poor leadership decisions by Mark, again I don't agree with.   
      
   Some are technical things, like Snaps. I think they're a fine decision   
   technically and have no problem with them as optional, but when they're   
   actively removing packages like Firefox and replacing with snaps, it's a   
   garbage decision. I rue the day when not only other major packages are   
   replaced with snaps but even base system packages too. To the point   
   where snaps will be dependent upon and removing them won't be an option.   
   At that point, I'm out!

   I'm well aware of all the distros. I'll stick with Debian if/when Ubuntu   
   jumps the shark.
