From a user side though, that’s because the whole ubuntu/snap store thing is just clunky, even if we ignore who controls the store. Gnome Software and discover I find are more usable than Snap store. Cosmic will likely catch up too
And if you add snap support to the other package software, it becomes a mess

Sucks it will take a fresh install, but the whole reason I switched from arch was stability with new feature parity.
sorry, are you saying that Debian testing will be more or less stable than Ubuntu lts?
