Someone correct me if I’m wrong here but Ubuntu is based off of Debian, therefore Ubuntu based distros are actually Debian based?
Or do they all have the same snap integration like Ubuntu does?
Ubuntu is Debian based yes. Not all ubuntu-based comes with snap (for example Mint). Sometimes I think “why are there so many different distros? We only need like five of them”, but then, sometimes I think it’s a strength, each distro exploring a new direction to see what works.
To follow up, how come e.g. mint decides to base their distro on Ubuntu rather than Debian?
