    Using a de-bloated Ubuntu reminds me of my time on Windows - had to use a bunch of tools to disable all kind of sh*t. Not doing this again, Ubuntu will never be a choice for me.

      Yeah. Glad I’m pretty much done moving my server to Debian.

      Fuck snaps. And fuck paying for security updates, lol.

    “nearly Snap-free”, hmm. I think I used Xubuntu briefly, but that was way before Snap was a thing.

    I’m honestly thinking about going back to XFCE after years with KDE.

    Idk, it just seems really buggy to me now. The transition to 6 isn’t going as smoothly as it should, but it’s about what I’d expect.

    I keep getting weird freezes where the dock stops working.

      I love kde, I love the file picker, I love window management, I love dolphin, I love the panels, I love Kate, etc… but every time I have to switch to a new tty to restart kwin, part of my soul dies

    A minimal Gentoo install contains less than 30 packages and fits in 1GB of disk (no GUI, though). If you more than double either of those numbers, you’re not “minimal”.
