The latest version of Teejeetech's version of Ubuntu offers what many users wish Canonical did – built-in Firefox and the choice to use Snap, Flatpak or neither.
Why do people HATE Snap packs?
Asmi 24.04 is the new LTS release, based on the recently released Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble Numbat." It offers a selection of interesting improvements to Canonical's underlying operating system, many of which we suspect will be crowd pleasers.
Asmi is the successor to Zinc Linux, which we looked at in late 2022. Developer Tony George renamed it to avoid confusion with another Debian distro that chose the same name.
Instead of stacking Ubuntu with the GNOME desktop, it's more fair to compare Asmi with the nearly Snap-free Xubuntu 24.04. Like Xubuntu, it comes with Xfce, and like Xubuntu "Noble" it offers two separate downloads. In addition to a full edition, both also give you the choice of a minimal edition with few installed apps.
