Snap has advantages though, apps works across different distros I think?

Are you saying Ubuntu isnt slow? The bloat only comes from the pre-installed apps, snap, and gnome desktop?

GNOME desktop and background processes others distros don’t have?

Not comfortable lol.

I think Arch’s forced OS updates and want you to run the latest(heavy?) softwares, similar to Windows.

Arch was my first choice, but it forces you to keep up to date and use the latest cutting edge software, its like Windows. So I am researching Debian, Mint, and Fedora instead.

Yeah, very close though, but you didnt get LMDE fully.

“If your computer can run the OS at installation, it’ll be able to run it for a long time.”

but what if I have a cheap laptop? Arch will force me to download the latest, and using xfce feels not enough.
