Yeah I'd say give it a shot and see if you like it. I hopped for years until I landed on Kubuntu and I've never had the urge to leave, it just feels right for me. I still play with VMs sometimes to explore, but Kubuntu has been my home since 18.04 was released. If you're looking to switch to the next LTS, might as well wait a few weeks for 22.04. If you're not sure mess around with a Kubuntu VM until 22.04 is available, then you can make a choice based on that experience.

KDE connect is also very cool, if you give it a shot definitely check it out. I really enjoy the customization plasmashell offers, and it's all integrated very well. You can also set window behaviors to keep on top and remember scale / position, which i use when debugging GUI applications so I can click around my IDE without having to shuffle windows. There's just a ton of great functionality to explore.

Seems 22.04 may be where Ubuntu at last does make Firefox installable by Snap only.

Gross. I very much dislike snap. Thanks for sharing though, i will probably just have to postpone the jump to 22.04 a bit longer. Im doing fine on 20.04 without any snap packages.

Very disappointing news.
