I also tried Crunchbang++ just now also.
I think instead of upgrading my main workstation to Ubuntu 22.04 I’m going to move to Debian 11. I’ve been away from Debian desktop for years now.
It seems more and more that only the original Independent distros like Arch, Debian, Red Hat, Slackware, Gentoo, Void, etc seem for the most part stay clear of Snap being installed by default.
