A minimal Gentoo install contains less than 30 packages and fits in 1GB of disk (no GUI, though). If you more than double either of those numbers, you're not "minimal".

(no GUI, though).

That is the point. Unless Gentoo has a user-friendly graphical installer that offers minimal dekstop options that does everything automatically for you there is no point of comparison.

This nearly Snap-free Ubuntu remix

This snap-laden Ubuntu remix

Using a de-bloated Ubuntu reminds me of my time on Windows - had to use a bunch of tools to disable all kind of sh*t. Not doing this again, Ubuntu will never be a choice for me.

Either you are a snap free distro or you aren't. You can't be somewhere in a middle when the option is binary.

I prefer my beer 93% alcohol free.

I also like stronger beers

I'll translate "almost snap free" for you: It's still using snap for some stuff that wouldn't work without snap. Avoid Ubuntu.

Would you shake someone's hand if it was nearly shit-free?

Dr_Evil ,

Most people's hands probably are only nearly shit-free 🤢

Nearly snap free.

Thats a wrong answer.

Tried Ubuntu a few years back. Snap was a big part of why I dropped it. Started using Pop_OS last year, and while it's still not my main driver (mostly because of gaming issues), I split my time between it and windows pretty evenly.

I have Kubuntu installed on my desktop, been using it for years. I had disabled snap Firefox and used a Deb version, but the other day I discovered that Kubuntu reinstalled the snap Firefox.

I've been planning to switch to Debian on my desktop, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. This little incident is reminding why I want to in the first place.
