    I got annoyed with snaps, I can’t recommend it because removing snaps is that opposite of not having to mess with it out of the box

      Then don’t remove snaps and you don’t have to mess with anything out of the box.

        It’s a proprietary component run on only Ubuntu servers. Someone switching to Linux surely has REASONS to use Linux, like supporting open source

      This doesn’t make sense to me. I have Ubuntu installed on a machine and have never even touched snaps. I did not have to do anything out of the box to not use snaps.

        I installed Firefox and it installed the snap version. Then I had to do a bunch of pinning and other stupid steps to make it NOT do that

      Linux Mint is basically Ubuntu without snaps. Flatpak is available for that sort of thing where necessary.

        That’s why I upvoted Mint, it’s an excellent choice as a first Linux. My mom used it without much Linux knowledge
