I think I'm just used to the installer. I like doing everything by CLI. Ubuntu is always trying to push something odd like Snap, and I think Xubuntu is defunct. The Ubuntu installers are very opinionated on what kind of desktop they want you to have.
One of these days I'll just buy all the ThinkPenguin stuff and go to FOSS-only Debian with xfce. Debian has a great installer, too. Then I'll turn my desktops into cattle-style systems where I blow up the rootfs once a year for full system updates.
