      I run Ubuntu on my home servers, simply because I always used it, resources and help are plentiful and it’s well documented. I thought.

      Took me a while to realize that after moving to a new machine and upgrading to 22.04 docker was installed as a fucking snap and a bunch of my apps didn’t work because of that. I got it all running now, but every VM and LXC I’ll install going forward will be running Debian instead. Fuck this annoying shit.

      Edit: Or I might try out Mint Mate, since it’s what I know best (aka Ubuntu) without snaps. What would you guys recommend for a basic homelab?

        You could go for the best of both worlds and use Mint LMDE (Debian Edition). But if only using it as a server, plain Debian should be all you need.

          Ooooooo, I didn’t know about that project! I’ll definitely spin up a VM and check LMDE out. Thanks!

      Ugh had a similar experience at work related to the chromium package. In our case it had to do with the arm64 build of chromium in an environment that can’t run snaps (docker), so we were pretty much entirely without a solution.
