      Hasn’t the UK been helping with this “war”. If so, then they are just putting pressure where they can

        Their pressure is doing nothing to stop the war then. Canonical is not the UK. They might be located in the UK, but attacking them does nothing to the UK government.

        Also, none of this has anything to do with the US attacking Iran, so I still don’t understand what that has to do with anything.

            Canonical is headquartered in London. It is a UK company, unless I’m missing something?

            I use Ubuntu because i like the easy usage… but I dislike USA/UK and Israels behaviors. So I am in the middle of nowhere. It’s always the same, none of the good projects which are fitted into a company is given away for free… we always pay with: less freedom, our data or some other useful stuff - isn’t it?

                Absolutely yes. Mint is even better. Parrot OS is what I just downloaded. It’s cool if you’re selfhosting and need to run tests. All the pentesting, port mapper, packet sniffers and whatnot are already in there. Excellent for privacy and security conscious folks.Debian based, without all the info hoardimg.

                It can be, but it depends on how dependent one is on various applications and sources. I’m in the process of doing such a thing, but I’m taking the slow route so I don’t break everything. Meaning I’m moving one thing at a time off Snap, and then I’ll be closer to a Debian/Mint DE version in the switch over than if I did it right away with so much tied to it being Ubuntu.

                For a casual user it may not be that dramatic and just a matter of moving data and learning a new desktop look. I’d still suggest the Debian version of Mint over Debian if they went to Ubuntu for the easy use.
