Ubuntu is turning like Windows (thelemmy.club)

I guess it's time to leave Ubuntu as a new user and switch to a new distro. Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Mint were my choice, but their base, Ubuntu, is becoming "bloated", and turning to a latest computers' OS. And I think it will affect its derivatives. Which distro would you suggest to switch to. I aint rich. I'm already aware of Fedora and its xfce, kde spins, Opensuse Leap and Tumbleweed, Debian and its derivatives, and Void. Are you planning to switch too.

Of course I don't planning any switch. For me it works perfectly. Access to one of the biggest repo, constant support, Ubuntu PRO with extended support timeline, snaps with needed software, flatpak near that all for missing software plus I building my own repo with COSMIC desktop. I have everything for my workflow. Why switching? Btw. I don't see any bloat here. With minimal install it comes with minimal set of packages. Just a most required one.

    Are you saying Ubuntu isnt slow? The bloat only comes from the pre-installed apps, snap, and gnome desktop?

    Ubuntu feels a bit slow, the snaps I think is that problem as they launch slower. But Ubuntu-based distros don't use snaps (Mint, popOS).

    There are also Ubuntu-based distros that don't use gnome (Mint, popOS).

    There are also non-Ubuntu distros that do use gnome. There's people who like gnome and people who don't, but it's not "bloat" and it's not limited to Ubuntu.
