I have a pretty comfortable Kubuntu 23.04 installation. I have run Debian in the past, What will I gain or lose if I clean install from Kubuntu to Debian (besides snaps, which is also a major inducement)

  • I would second this. I’ve used Endeavour and it’s nice, but it doesn’t have much of a purpose. It’s an easy installer with some default packages. Once it’s installed, it’s 100% Arch but with a different name and you don’t know how some things work because they were automatically configured for you. Might as well use the real thing. The archinstall script is easy and you only have to do it once.
