Ironically Ubuntu is more popular…

What’s Debian based on again? I think it was some earlier variant of Ubuntu

Debian was first in that line. Here's the Linux family tree

  sorry, missed the /s, but figured the tree was still worth seeing for some.
  
  #echo "" > $1; echo "Debutu"

- Yep, Debian was (is) a disaster to configure graphics with modern hardware. It was pure open source (even blocked firefox as the logo was copyright protected). They opened up with a non-free repo for hardware support, but already lost the 'market share' on the desktop to Ubuntu (and the load of forks with just a different windoemanager as default... instead of adding a desktop selection on install). Also Ubuntu is offered a lot as option on new hardware.
  
  With snap I'm guessing users migrate back... (a very few at least)

  Hasn't been the case for years. Perhaps even a decade, from what I recall. Just check the "nonfree" option in the installer, and you'll get all the drivers you need. It's not any harder to set up than Ubuntu these days.
  
  Honestly Debian was one of the few that still kept a strong stance on freedom. Its sad that they went the opposite direction. I wish that they would of just broke the non-free into firmware and apps like they have now and then provided two isos. They could have a simple paragraph explaining free software with two links.
  
  Thanos snap those nerds straight to arch
