    Universal Blue is my go-to. Their OSs feel like the future. They are so easy to use and low maintenance. The upgrades happen in the background and apply automatically when you restart your computer.

    There are three flavors: Bazzite for gaming Bluefin and Aurora for basic workstations and developers

    I went with Aurora for myself because I like the developer focused stuff. But I also do a lot of gaming. Even though it's not gaming focused, it's still great for gaming.

    My wife uses it on her laptop, too. She doesn't give a shit what her OS is as long as it works and she can use the browser.

    EndeavourOS

    Even for beginners it's got a fantastic starting layout and default packages, but it's still basically "just Arch Linux" where it counts so you get the best of both worlds.

    Linux Mint or de-snapped Kubuntu.

    Hi there. I just installed Kubuntu on a spare machine, but I ran into a problem with the snaps. How would one "de-snap" it? Can you point me in the right direction?

    • Remove Snap packages
    snap remove <package-name>

    (To check snap PKG installed, run

    snap list

    )

    • Uninstall Snapd
    sudo apt purge snapd
    • Remove leftover files
    sudo rm -rf /var/cache/snapd/

    and/snap`.

    • Optionally install Flatpak if you want an alternative.
    sudo apt install flatpak

    . Don't forget to visit flathub.
