    Yeah, something like “Update Promptness” does fit better now that you mention it. I wrote “frequency” and never thought about it until now.

    If it weren’t for Snaps, I would’ve had the warning and still recommended Ubuntu. It’s been a couple months since I last used Ubuntu, so maybe this has improved, but the opening times for Snap applications is brutal. Firefox taking forever to load? Install Flatpak, add the Flathub repo, uninstall the Firefox Snap, install the Firefox Flatpak. I just can’t call Ubuntu beginner friendly if they’re pushing Snaps like this while refusing to support Flatpak out of the box.

      Okay, that’s a fair take, I haven’t been afflicted with snaps yet, and if the performance is that bad then definitely not beginner friendly.
