Ubuntu works just fine, the problematic part about it is how it shoves its proprietary app store down everyone's throats, which is very much against Linux ethos, both in terms of proprietary software and user freedom.
If you don't mind that and are comfortable with Ubuntu in other ways, hooray, you've just found your distro.
What app store? Apt get?
Snap
Never heard of it until now 😂
I just looked it up in my system and I see "app centre". I vaguely recall that opening when I first installed Ubuntu, haven't seen it since.
That's how well they integrated and hid this atrocity in plain sight :D
But it gets worse. When you try to use apt, it looks up if there is a snap package available, and may install that instead, so you may have used the store without being aware of it. They also consider phasing apt out completely.
