Is it time to move from a Ubuntu base to Debian?

@zenzen

who would be in charge of making this decision and what factors do you think should be considered when making it?

The Zorin brothers and very little factors in regards to any consideration

@zenzen

ZorinOS works great for people new to Linux, and those who simply want things to work out of the box.

None of this would change, Zorin is already built on Debian.

@zenzen

Could it be argued that multiple choices of the same program in the Software Center actually hurts the user experience? Are there any factors that create the need to move on to a Debian base?

There are already multiple choices of the same program, deb, flatpak and snap.

I'm not sure you are understanding. Ubuntu is already Debian, therefore Zorin is already using Debian. The only thing that would be happening is instead of waiting around for Ubuntu they would only be waiting for the Debian release from Debian itself.

Going from Ubuntu to just Debian is easy and you would not even know it, because it is the same system just minus all the stuff Ubuntu adds.
