I guess it’s time to leave Ubuntu as a new user and switch to a new distro. Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Mint were my choice, but their base, Ubuntu, is becoming “bloated”, and turning to a latest computers’ OS. And I think it will affect its derivatives. Which distro would you suggest to switch to. I aint rich. I’m already aware of Fedora and its xfce, kde spins, Opensuse Leap and Tumbleweed, Debian and its derivatives, and Void. Are you planning to switch too.
The number one culprit of undesirable cornering behavior is incorrect tire pressure.
Of course I don’t planning any switch. For me it works perfectly. Access to one of the biggest repo, constant support, Ubuntu PRO with extended support timeline, snaps with needed software, flatpak near that all for missing software plus I building my own repo with COSMIC desktop. I have everything for my workflow. Why switching? Btw. I don’t see any bloat here. With minimal install it comes with minimal set of packages. Just a most required one.
Are you saying Ubuntu isnt slow? The bloat only comes from the pre-installed apps, snap, and gnome desktop?
Sorry, it’s too much :D
You’ll be fine with Mint. Even the Ubuntu based one. Just keep a separated partition for /home, then jumping ship to LMDE becomes trivial.
You only noticed recently?
Yes, just recently, as a new user.
I understand why people choose to leave Ubuntu and of course am OK with it. I for example don’t like Snaps, too.
I have been visiting and leaving Ubuntu for 15 years and now I’m back again (coming from years of Fedora).
I wouldn’t say it’s more bloated, nor does it require more resources. But I prefer the adapted Gnome version where you can minimize windows and everything is a little less hassle (in my case configuring the printer).
In your case, I’d try out Fedora. Its installation is quite minimal.
Debian (sic Armbian, Dietpi) user here. I don’t have this problem.
