Debian has its own kernel, and security team, in fact as Ubuntu is downstream of Debian they get the full benefit of Debian’s security patches (yes Canonical maintains their own kernel, but the vast majority of other packages are pulled from Debian’s repositories), fwupd isn’t unique to Ubuntu, KDE has been combining update managers into Discover for ages, not everybody likes Gnome.
You’re saying “replicate” like these are all things Ubuntu did first and everyone else is copying them. That’s ignorant at best and disingenuous at worst.

I’ve been using it for many years and I have no idea who Chris Titus is.
There’s no reason to use Ubuntu over Debian, especially since Bookworm included non-free firmware in installation media by default.
Ubuntu is Debian with lipstick so that all still applies
It does that by default though?
Firefox puts inactive tabs to sleep, effectively turning them into bookmarks that reload when you switch back to them. I regularly right-click close-tabs-to-the-right over 200 tabs.
When the solution is so obvious, it’s hard to have patience with the rest of you.

I will allow it.

Well now I’m going to pronounce it gooey even harder!
Guess you’re not up on your memes. Frightfully sorry for responding to what I assumed was a meme answer with a meme answer.
If you like Sublime, you’re gonna love Micro.
Hopefully tongue-in-cheek.
Because sure. Microsoft Word is the best IDE.
Accurate. The keyboard shortcuts just make sense and it’s full of features from this millennia. Like control click for multi cursor, automatic syntax highlighting, and automatic lint indicators.
Just use Micro
I know, it just seems like we’re moving in the opposite direction of correctness.
Interestingly, Mint strips away several things that Ubuntu enforces, like their Gnome setup and Snaps entirely, removing most of the “value” added by Canonical.
More interestingly is that Linux Mint offers a Debian version, sidestepping Ubuntu completely.
It’s fine if you like Ubuntu’s default Gnome setup. That’s the point of having multiple distros. It’s fine if you like Snaps. It’s not fine to force everyone into your ecosystem or enforce your choices on others. If you don’t think that both of those things are true of Canonical, go try to install the .deb version of Firefox.
