Interestingly, Mint strips away several things that Ubuntu enforces, like their Gnome setup and Snaps entirely, removing most of the "value" added by Canonical.
More interestingly is that Linux Mint offers a Debian version, sidestepping Ubuntu completely.

It's fine if you like Ubuntu's default Gnome setup. That's the point of having multiple distros. It's fine if you like Snaps. It's not fine to force everyone into your ecosystem or enforce your choices on others. If you don't think that both of those things are true of Canonical, go try to install the .deb version of Firefox.

Debian has its own kernel, and security team, in fact as Ubuntu is downstream of Debian they get the full benefit of Debian's security patches (yes Canonical maintains their own kernel, but the vast majority of other packages are pulled from Debian's repositories), fwupd isn't unique to Ubuntu, KDE has been combining update managers into Discover for ages, not everybody likes Gnome.
You're saying "replicate" like these are all things Ubuntu did first and everyone else is copying them. That's ignorant at best and disingenuous at worst.

I think you overestimate your ability to communicate irony in text-only media.

I've been using it for many years and I have no idea who Chris Titus is.
There's no reason to use Ubuntu over Debian, especially since Bookworm included non-free firmware in installation media by default.

Ubuntu is Debian with lipstick so that all still applies

Which part's a joke? I can't tell which of you think you're being funny.

The manga is delightful! I am enjoying it.

Thanks! I'm gonna check it out.

 

This flat square of plastic doesn't sound so bad!
It came in the Bloom County comic collection shown in the picture (Billy and the Boingers), and contains two tracks performed by a fictional in-universe band.
It's probably not technically vinyl.
