    I’m pretty sure a year ago there was a set of users claiming systemd was the worst thing to happen to Linux since snap.

    So why are you advising to change the default install of Debian to include it?

    Every recipe that works for Ubuntu works for Debian,

    May as well just install Ubuntu then.

    For the cutting edge 2% of new stuff, newbies are increasingly better off on Debian.

    Citation needed. Pretty sure this is either personal opinion or anti-canonical, anti-snap ideology.

    Targeting WSL users with this rhetoric is ridiculous. If you want to tailor your own systems outside the norm then sure go ahead but claiming things will be easier for a newbie by running specific commands they don’t have the context or expertise to comprehend is absurd.

      I didn’t advice any such thing. My edit is just to acknowledge someone else who makes it part of their process.

      Citation needed.

      I shared my personal experience and you turned it into a distro war. Go look up your own damn sources.

      Pretty sure this is either personal opinion or anti-canonical, anti-snap ideology.

      Fuck yes. It’s both! Snap is a slap in the face to the contributors who brought Canonical this far. I appreciate their partnership so far, and now, speaking as a package maintainer, Canonical can fuck right off.

      Targeting WSL users with this rhetoric is ridiculous.

      Helping people make an informed decision about their tool chain is rhetoric? Give me a fucking break.

      I don’t like Ubuntu. That’s not a secret. Ubuntu is a fine option for total newbies. People using WSL tend not to be total newbies and may well run into real issues (such as the ones that prompted me to switch), thanks to snap.
