Hi,

in the past I used the server images and unchecked a lot of components
in the first place. I guess the chances are good, that installing coming
releases from a server image, does not include many snaps, if any snaps
at all. However, a lot of software we like, might not be available by
packages from the "regular"/official repos anymore.

I don't have a recommendation for an Ubuntu replacement. I'm looking for
a replacement myself, since I can't stand snaps.

My daily work horse is Arch Linux, but I want to have at least 2
different installs on my machine, hence a user-friendly Linux, such as
old Ubuntu flavours would be nice. Maybe I replace Ubuntu by FreeBSD.
What keeps me away from replacing Ubuntu with FreeBSD is mainly the file
system and a lack of hypervisor. The volume, slice, pool approach is way
to unpractically for a desktop machine.

Regards,
Ralf
