Canonical make it hard not to use snaps so only those who took extra steps are not using them.

Yea, not with firefox, at least not without switching to some third party repo.

Uses KDE and not available to general public.

If you open to do some research - you should be able to stay on Debian and use nix the package manager https://hachyderm.io/@fasterthanlime/111099224022408403

Comes with some steep learning curve, almost a learning cliff though. But once past this - it's good.

That's what I'm using, but it's not a fully featured replacement.

Been using it since forever, no reasons to switch. It works. Got a bit upset at them when they killed xul/pentadactyl though.

Yea, something like that. Using it on my laptop already. configuration.nix for system plus home-manager for user stuff. Will move the desktop soon-ish.

NixOS. I'm going to migrate to NixOS by then.

https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/3968 - this to monitor and poke, there are also a link for a sample wrapper that might or night not help you.

urxvt. It works good enough and doesn't use much memory.
