It's been solid reliable for me since 2004.

Unfortunately, it's time to change.

How was that stint where they sent your desktop search results to Amazon?

Mild inconvenience, it was a different time, Amazon was still cool among many.

Unfortunately, it’s time to change.

If you didn't switch to a credible distribution after all the shit Canonical pulled already, you won't switch away from Ubuntu this time either.

I could get around all their bullshit before and still have a very good, very usable Linux OS.

Now if you remove Snaps, the system breaks. And so if you have to remove Snaps to get rid of the AI... I mean, I draw the line at forcing Snaps to have a functioning system. But the AI is the cherry on top of the swirl of shit this distro is about to become.

I think I made my mind. I'm going to go with Tumbleweed. I was thinking Debian, but it's missing too many quality of life features and it's a bit old.
