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.
Why did you disable snaps on the first day of using Linux?
That sentence should probably read "on my first day of using Linux outside of a vm on bare metal with an installation I intended to keep". I use Kali for security work and I used Manjaro once but it killed itself before I knew what I was doing.
Snaps are not very space efficient, I don't need the same packages installed multiple times. In a desktop use case that's a lot of repeating packages.
I think you're gonna have a bad time since that's essentially what all the newer formats do (flatpak, snap, appimage).
