From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ubuntu has a lot of "snappy" GUI apps as well...
You said the bad word that hipster Linux boi's don't like. I rarely have trouble our of Ubuntu. I've slowly eliminated most of the snaps. But its not cool for it to work. It has to be hyped. This is what they can't stand.
Ubuntu is a lot of things but it isn't snappy
Snappy and bloaty
Not slow and bloaty. I'm not sure why you think snaps are snappy. They aren't.
It is pun. Snaps are bloaty and not snappy.
