Well you see ubuntu is the same as debian so you shouldn't use debian because of canonicals snaps, stance on ai, and advertising in the terminal.

Those are based on Debian. Not Debian. If you ask for a debian and I give you pop_os, you'd probably not like it.

And flavours are flavours, not distro. It's the same distro, just different settings

This reads as sarcasm but is generally valid points...? I guess that explains why people downvoted it

It's valid against ubuntu, but I don't see why it would touch debian users?

Rpm is really more analogous to dpkg. Does the local work, doesn't talk to repositories.

Apt to...not yum anymore. checks Dnf.

I'm not sure which one would properly call a "package manager", the apt/dnf role or the rpm/dpkg role.

The term I use is "Debian family", "Red Hat family", etc.

Then, if we are to follow that logic of excluding derivatives, then we get NixOS, Arch, LFS, TinyCore Linux, Gentoo, Debian (of course!) and... I give up; what else is out there?

And I use Debian, just to put it on record.

Well you see ubuntu is the same as debian so you shouldn't use debian either, because debian also has canonical's snaps, stance on ai, and advertising in the terminal.

would work?

I'm not sure whether you really mean Debian has all those issues or if it's sarcasm, but otherwise it's clearer you're not recommending Debian

There's two variants of Debian: Debian, and "damn, this distro is not as flexible as I'd like, I guess I should have just installed Debian in the first place".

Debian does not have snaps (I suppose you could install snappy, but that is the case for most distributions).

Debian also doesn't have canonical ads in its command outputs.

And debian does nor allow LLM contributions to all its related stuff, i.e. debian packaging, software projects, websites, docs, and communication.
Generally debian is pretty ai-negative where ubuntu is very ai-positive.

So this is continuing the sarcasm because obviously it's all clearly wrong.

Sarcasm died and left it's place to be occupied by literalism. The most ridiculous things have become literal.

The saddest part on your comment was that Suse was my first distro and it did not register in my mind. As for Fedore, althoug I still insist calling it Red Hat.
