Me too. Switching my home system from Ubuntu back to Debian was influenced a lot by snap. I don't get how they could fumble that one so hard. It goes against everything they used to stand for. If I want a bloated, slow, closed-source, proprietary app store with unclear security ramifications, I'll install MacOS or Windows. It also feels like app developers at least care a little bit about those stores. Mozilla for example still officially recommends installing their Debian package rather than through snap on Linux, despite shipping via snap by default on Ubuntu now.

Yes, Debian is great.

But there is also Arch by the way :)

Sure, I like Arch. Did not consider it for completely non-technical users, though.
CachyOS gets close, including for gamers, but it is not as stable as Ubuntu.
