  Ah, gotcha.

  I’m not technical enough to understand the functional difference between flatpak and snap, but I know that snaps are centrally controlled by Canonical and thus I assume not as enshittification resistant as flatpak.

  But from the end user perspective, they can be a lot simpler to use than ppas for random software. For me they’re kind of a guilty pleasure.

  Holy Shit, Barrier but good is here!!!!

  I had no idea, I thought we were all waiting for input leap to get out of alpha and release something… My heart goes out to all the devs <3

  AFAIK it is packages but also default configurations. I am not an expert though this is just a guess.

  Ubuntu is great. Lots of guides for things, great community support, and things usually just work. Plenty easy enough to do what you want to do without having to learn a bunch of stuff all the time.

  I think this is why it is not the preferred choice for experts who want to configure everything themselves, or have strong opinions about the internals of how it works.

  But I basically want to never have to think about the os if I don’t have to.

  Out of curiosity, is the live USB / install experience that different than kubuntu? I’ve never tried mint.
