I would liken it to more like if Debian was a shot of whiskey, Ubuntu is like a whiskey sour. It still has whiskey as a base but enough ingredients have been added and changes have been made that it’s its own thing.
Yeah, snaps are truly bloat. I always stayed away from Ubuntu, mainly because of Canonical. Debian is amazing stability wise. Definitely a good choice. I like to live a little more on the edge though, so I use NixOS (it’s great, I can update without ever worrying about breaking my system).
Jo I don’t know much about Linux distros, but isn’t Ubuntu just Debian with some extra features?

I love this description
Exactly. Leaves a sour taste in your mouth ruining a perfectly good whiskey.
Isn’t Debian just GNU/Linux with some extra features?
A distro’s a distro. You could rip dnf out of Fedora, install apt if you like.
It basically comes down to the default settings/packages shipped, and philosophy.
Ubuntu adds a much different install experience, snaps, and some features good for enterprise out of the box.
I’ve not had a good experience with snaps tbh. Made me switch from Ubuntu to Debian for server stuff.
