I started using ubuntu 2 years ago and its great. Just disable snaps. It's like 5 commands (and you have to reinstall Firefox).

You stop snap store from running, disable it from restarting then set apt over snap store as default.

It's not hard. I did it day 1 of using Linux. Plus there's guides a plenty on how to do it.

At that point just use PopOS. Why the hell would you use Ubuntu just to disable snaps?

[–] joshcodes@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Because snaps aren't the only feature the distro comes with. It's widely versatile, commonly used, and this argument isn't a good one. PopOS is good, so is ubuntu minus the snaps.
