Look at all this engagement you've fostered!
They are really cool.
Are those original characters? If they're from a thing, I'd like to read all of it
Micro is Nano but the commands make sense. It's so nice.
It even prompts you for a sudo password when you try to save but don't have permission.
I like it. The image in the post was edited though. It's a non-horny chill high school slice-of-life series.
You can get Gnome on Fedora. It won't have Apt.
Packages will have a different naming scheme based on the maintainers' preferences, even between Debian and Ubuntu (though those are usually pretty minor).
Your muscle memory is gonna trip you up for a while though.
I'd suggest the KDE flavor of Debian, then. Its settings manager is divine, and its software management platform ties every other package management system in (apt/dpkg for Debian, yum for Redhat, pacman for Arch, plus flatpak, nixpkg, and even snaps if you absolutely must). By default starting in Plasma 6.0.
More to @fmstrat's point, and to suggest a possible cause your friend had that impression: if you install the Minimal flavor of any distro, you're going to get a minimal experience.
My guess is: prior to Bookworm, when they started including non-free firmware on installation media by default.
And pin other repos so Ubuntu doesn't replace it. And change the apt.conf rules that alias out apt install commands for the snap install equivalent. And whatever the countermeasure is for the next sneaky ploy they put into action.
Firefox now has instructions on their "Debian-based" install section about pinning their repo over Canonical's so that doesn't happen.
Because you're right, Canonical does think so highly of their product that they will constantly attempt to undermine other options against your will.
I can never remember the difference between etymology and entomology and I can't put into words how much that bugs me.
