I have an old laptop that I use as a Minecraft server as well as running RPG campaigns during game night. I’m getting tired of Windows 10 and I’m looking for a good replacement. I don’t have a lot of experience with Linux lately, the last time I did anything with it was maybe 10 years or so ago and I used Ubuntu, which I’ve read here is maybe not a good choice any longer. Stats of laptop are below. Recommendations are appreciated, thanks.

    If it is FUD, can you please point out the factually inaccurate claim?

    Actually, let’s just walk through the claims made.

    1. Ubuntu does not give you a choice between Firefox as a Snap or as a traditional deb package

    Fact check: it does not (only Snap is provided)

    1. The Snap package is slower and takes up more space than the deb package

    Fact check: it is and it does

    1. Other Ubuntu based distros, like Mint, replace Snaps with deb packages

    Fact check: they do

    “Wild”

    Other information:

    On Ubuntu, you can get a deb package directly from Mozilla. Not a big deal but that statement made in the post is true.
