It can be, but it depends on how dependent one is on various applications and sources. I’m in the process of doing such a thing, but I’m taking the slow route so I don’t break everything. Meaning I’m moving one thing at a time off Snap, and then I’ll be closer to a Debian/Mint DE version in the switch over than if I did it right away with so much tied to it being Ubuntu.
For a casual user it may not be that dramatic and just a matter of moving data and learning a new desktop look. I’d still suggest the Debian version of Mint over Debian if they went to Ubuntu for the easy use.
People have moved to Debian to avoid Ubuntu. Is that an option?
