Whenever I try to use Mint theres always something weird that happens that won’t seamlessly install or something, most recently it was steam games not being able to start. A couple of years ago I installed Pop and the automatic tiling paired with Gnome was very offputting (I’v e gone back and forth with Pop Os because of gnome seemingly eating up memory), when, in previous installs, the tiling thing didn’t happen. Also I dont really like/understand relying on websites and browser extensions to modify gnome bits. I switched to Kubuntu and it was great… with an AMD gpu. I upgraded to a 6700xt a couple of months ago from a rx480 and it was great, but I sent it back and switched to an nvidia 3060ti because of being interested in dipping my feet in video editing. I found trying to use the nvidia gpu with Kubuntu was a real hassle I couldnt figure out (I couldnt log in even after running a command in safe mode installing nvidia drivers) so I went back to Pop and kind of grin and bear gnome because my new system has 64gigs of ram, the Pop team is working on their rust based DE, and because Pop can come with Nvidia drivers included. Regarding snaps, I really like that PopOS tells you whether a given package is a snap or deb and that you can choose (for now at least), but I try to avoid snaps myself. |

I also tried kubuntu starting out because i wanted a plasma desktop but found it a bit janky defaults wise. I settled on Manjaro KDE tho. Much nicer defaults, much more software available after checking some boxes in the software centre and choosing the nvidia drivers was relatively easy. (a neat menu to choose between the various options of open source or nvidias own stuff)
