Curious that Ubuntu seems to get passed over in discussions/publications, yet is the largest install base (I seem to recall reading, open to contradicting info)

I started on Ubuntu, then I read more about Ubuntu, and switched to Mint. Ubuntu brings a lot of people to Linux, and then a lot of people leave Ubuntu after learning more about it.

You could read more about Ubuntu, too, the information is available.

Thank you - what made you leave Ubuntu?

What might people read that would convince them to switch?

For me, among other things it hijacked apt for snap silently, or something sneaky like that.
