One of the many reasons I switched from Ubuntu to Debian 2 years ago. Another reason was snap.

  Yup. Snap is emblematic of all the complexity Canonical bakes into Ubuntu.

    That and the whole systemd stack. Canonical employees had enough votes to force upstream it into debian. I switched to devuan. It’s great, but it sucks that the community split over something so needlessly destructive.

  Between snap and having completely different network implementations between "desktop" and "server" versions really made me fall back down the learning curve of nix. Especially since I was novice at best before the systemd thing, and my Ubuntu dive involved trying to navigate all 3 of these pretty drastic changes at once (oh yea and throw containers on top of that). I went into it with the expectation that it was going to piss me off, and boy did it easily exceeded that threshold.
