- Ubuntu snap store UI doesn't open half the time. Apps don't install half the time.

- I want to stay in debian ecosystem because installation instructions typically provide `.deb` files

- The LDME app store shows both flatpaks and deb apps. if you really need a snap, you can install it on debian.

- I also like apt packages more than yum. Plus nala looks like a great way to manage packages.

- I like mint's cinnamon UI more than stock gnome UI.

- People claim Linux Mint provides sensible drivers that default Debian does not. I want to be as close to debian as possible, but don't want config hassle.
