    @JRepin Not quite sure why you’d use Mint if you wanted to run KDE. Most of the draw of Mint is the Cinnamon desktop. At that point you might as well run Kubuntu.

        Kubuntu comes with snap support but you can uninstall it and the default snaps, mark the snapd package as forbidden and that’s pretty much it.

          But then you could ask the same question again. Why install (K)ubuntu if you’re gonna get rid of snaps anyway.

          If you want Plasma with an Ubuntu-based OS without snaps, your best option is probably TuxedoOS (unlike Kubuntu they’re already on Plasma 6 too).

            Ubuntu and Kubuntu are nice distros, the problem with Ubuntu is that Canonical makes snaps mandatory. But on Kubuntu you can make them optional.
