Besides this drama, why do people choose Debian-derived distros rather than Debian itself?<p>I'm trying to remember my own experiences. For server uses I've used Ubuntu as that's what was used at work. For personal/desktop I'd generally use Xubuntu--next I'd likely try Kubuntu. I did try using Debian proper for a while but I ran into differences in how packages were built occasionally and considered the Ubuntu one <i>correct</i> because it matched expectations--generally vetted by more eyeballs using and writing about it.<p>Maybe switching to flatpak installed packages would eliminate the differences. It still <i>feels</i> like Debian is the distros' distro <i>(like a musician's musician)</i> and not for the masses.
