One thing I do not like about Ubuntu anymore is its embrace of snap packages. It just updates on its own. This has created surprises where a package or program just suddenly stops working correctly. Because I did not manually update it I have no idea what happened that could cause it. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1131182/how-can-i-disable-automatic-update-for-a-single-snap-in-ubuntu https://askubuntu.com/questions/1131182/how-can-i-disable-au...
To me Snap was a bad choice.
I used to run Gentoo but it started to lack in documentation maintenance and I became tired of spending so much time solving problems. Full disk encryption was a bit of a chore to setup on Gentoo and even then I was not sure I was doing it in a reliable way which required more testing. On Ubuntu it was just a few clicks.
