Which distro do you recommend?
If you want minimal hassle, Mint is the deal.
Universal Blue is my go-to. Their OSs feel like the future. They are so easy to use and low maintenance. The upgrades happen in the background and apply automatically when you restart your computer.
There are three flavors: Bazzite for gaming Bluefin and Aurora for basic workstations and developers
I went with Aurora for myself because I like the developer focused stuff. But I also do a lot of gaming. Even though it's not gaming focused, it's still great for gaming.
My wife uses it on her laptop, too. She doesn't give a shit what her OS is as long as it works and she can use the browser.
Aurora works very well on my dell laptop
EndeavourOS
Even for beginners it's got a fantastic starting layout and default packages, but it's still basically "just Arch Linux" where it counts so you get the best of both worlds.
+1 for EndeavourOS here. For 90% of what I do, it was a virtually seamless transition. Only hang up is a few games, VR, etc.
Garuda is probably a better option if the focus is gaming. It's the same idea, just with a focus on gaming hardware and software ready to go, out of the gate.
This cracks me up that everyone has a different distro to recommend... But I've tried many and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed was the standout that I've decided to stick with indefinitely.
Linux Mint or de-snapped Kubuntu.
Hi there. I just installed Kubuntu on a spare machine, but I ran into a problem with the snaps. How would one "de-snap" it? Can you point me in the right direction?
(To check snap PKG installed, run
)

Depends on your skills and what you want. I'm currently configuring a setup on Void, to learn about login, Wayland & Flatpak. Is that up your alley?
