When I'm reading about Ubuntu Core, I instantly think of this situation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26464063

In my eyes Canonical isn't trustworthy or able to create good product recently, unfortunately. At least looking at Ubuntu distro. I had high hopes for many years as this was my OS when I started my journey with Linux. For some time they are consistently forcing elements such as Snaps or ads in terminal. They seem to make switching from custom Canonical janky solutions to "standard" solutions harder or remove this choice completely (like removing apt packages and installing snaps instead). User's choice and customization was the very first thing I was interested in Ubuntu in first place. Now I guess choosing Debian is easier - you just skip part of removing Canonical weird OS elements during deployment.

Debian is always the answer. It has the least corporate oversight and integration of all the remaining distributions.
