  1. If by good reason you mean "because it pollutes lsblk", this alone is one of the dumbest reasons to drop Ubuntu. Or any other distro for that matter. That's like saying that you'll never buy a Bugatti Veyron because, say, you don't like the silver color (theoretically, I don't know what color(s) it has). Like really, I can't think of anything that would be smaller/pettier than this, to complain about and above else, to ditch an entire distro. And I say that as someone who doesn't like Ubuntu in its current state, and I'm not a fan of snaps either.

  2. Haven't Debian recently voted to include non-free drivers or something like that ?

  3. What is/are the confusion(s) ? Anything we can help to clear ?

  4. DT mentioned in the video, but I guess it's not something very obvious: dependencies. You can upgrade a specific app and not have to worry that some library that it uses will also be upgraded and make another program not work anymore, because that program only works with the old version of the library. Also, I think it's easier to the program to only see its own stuff like that and not be able to touch the rest of the system.
