From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why what's wrong with that? Is it just that it looks bad or is there a performance issue to.

I love snaps. AMA. (but actually don't, I don't want to talk to you)

I've never used a distro that offered/forced snaps so I'm not very familiar with this perpetual topic. Given it's Linux and you have options why would you continue using a distribution who had a main feature you didn't like?

Edit: Debian is server king. Proxmox, trueNAS, Clonezilla, Ubuntu you can go on and on of very niche tailored and rather amazing products that base on Debian. I'm ever curious if there are people out there using Gentoo, Arch or xyz in the server space.
