One of the strongest points of Linux is the package management. In 2025, the world of Linux package management is very varied, with several options available, each with their advantages and trade-offs over the others.

Don’t mind me, being a casual user since 2014 taking down notes as I’m reading the debates in the comments.
But I finally found out why Steam kept crashing. Snap broke it. I forced it to run as a flatpak, and now it works exactly as intended. Literally what made me finally switch from Ubuntu to Mint.
Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu. Wouldn’t it be better to go for one of the distributions everything else is based on? Debian or Fedora?
Mint doesn’t natively shove down snap down your throat though 🙂
Good to know, thanks. I’m fairly new to Linux and reading that this or that distro is based in Ubuntu always makes me wonder how much they share (and why they don’t base those distros on Debian, being the mother of Ubuntu)
I thought Fedora didn’t either? That’s a Ubuntu exclusive I think (not sure!). In any case, its a couple lines on the terminal and it’s gone.
