   Nice distro.

   MX is a nice Debian distro; and is VERY flexible about how it sorta   
   eschews systemd while making it optionally enabled at boot.  Clever.   
      
   Similarly Mint is a nice Ubuntu distro and makes some better decisions   
   than Ub about its desktops by eschewing Gnome while putting LOTS of dev   
   into its forks, and making its default extra apps flatpak instead of   
   snap and also being able to use .deb .ppa repo/s in addition to those of   
   Ub and itself.

   Well, Ub has to do what Ub has to do.  I would imagine that Mark   
   Shuttleworth 'dreams' of being a RedHat and a big financial success   
   someday, while doing good things for the community on the way there.
