I think it's not slow as in speed, because I'm using a Debian 11 and it feels faster that the Ubuntu 20.04 I was using before on the same machine. It's probably slow to be up to date with the latest versions of the installed packages. Not a big deal for people using only browsers (they are regularly updated) and LibreOffice (any version will do) or developers (we use docker and language managers, right?) but there might be some class of users that want to stay closer to the edge.

Is ubuntu not based on debian repos anymore? I remember when it was a debian unstable/latest(?) plus the “Ubuntu” part itself. Debian was a set of versions, from stable to “probably will break”, not a single “old” distro. Anyway it always feels strange when someone claims X is slower/faster than Y, where X and Y are both ~the same kernel and the base system. As if debian maintainers didn’t know some secret “non_vanilla_run_faster: true” settings for the same kernel that was 30 years in development already. Most distros are just slightly different gui programs running on top of basically the same gnu/linux binaries.

  Ubuntu is still based on Debian testing.
