Same could be said about other distros, btw ;)

    But Debian doesn’t sell enterprise support while trying to screw its users

        Let’s ignore all the anti-consumer bs (like selling user data to Amazon) and just focus on snaps.

        • each snap installed slows down your boot time
        • snaps get installed even when you don’t expect them to (apt get install firefox for example)
        • snap store is closed source

            It needs to mount virtual directories for each snap. If I remember correctly it does a part of the job on boot and part on login.

                Also remember that systemd isn’t generally doing this in series, waiting for each unit before starting the next. It’s firing off a bunch of units and then continuing what it does. If it were measuring the actual time that a unit takes without including the fact that it’s waiting for resources that other units are using, it’s highly unlikely that bare, which is basically empty, would take longer than massive snaps like Firefox and the GNOME content snaps.

                Theoretically with a huge number of snaps and slow enough storage media this could have a noticeable effect, but in practice that case is highly unlikely.

        Let’s not forget the sending unity search results to Amazon fiasco

          I did not know about this so I found a source talking more about it, dropping it for anyone curious

          Why not? That was 10 years ago and they’re trying to be profitable in a space that is extremely difficult to make profit.
