      Over time, Canonical will replace close to everything with Snaps. Ubuntu Remixes are not the solution. They just count towards Ubuntu’s installed base and validate Canonical.

        Honestly i agree, that’s why i love that more and more debian based distros are emerging, lot of times from distros that used to be based on ubuntu

          How many votes in Debian councils does Canonical own these days? The systemd vs Upstart discussion and vote at Debian was so protracted because Canonical bought votes in Debian’s Technological Council.

          Not access their repositories would be one thing because the only somewhat close approximation of installed base is through repository accesses.

        This is what I fear as well. I’m still running Kubuntu, as I have been for years. Next time I build a system it may just be time for Debian Testing or sid. I’ve been messing with both on some Intel NUCs I have laying around.

        Most of them use, unless you pick something like pop os that has it’s own kernel packages it will use the default ubuntu kernel

        Pop os, linux mint, linux lite, etc.

        The first 2 may do a lot pf changes to the base but that’s what make them better them ubuntu in my opinion
