    But otherwise, is there a reason to use it rather than starting with Ubuntu and just install your own cutting edge features as you choose your own upgrade cycle?

    I’m ride-or-die Debian, but I switch to Fedora when I need a more recent package set.

    I do so to avoid Ubuntu/Snaps, which contains some closed proprietary bullshit, which I personally find to be a pain in the ass.

      That’s a good point that we don’t have to be locked into just one. Do you dual boot that? VM one inside another? Or probably you mean on different hardware?

        Yeah. Usually different hardware, sometimes just virtualization.

        Thanks to the open container initiative (OCI), I haven’t been tempted to dual boot in a several years.
