I found this site a while back - basically it will ask you a bunch of questions on your usage of your PC, and will came out with a list of recommended distros, and a list of reasons why YOU could like or not like it.
There are some similar sites to this one, but since I’m not familiar with them, I won’t post them. They are simply DuckDuckGo-able though.
I’d agree if it weren’t for the Snaps bullshit. Because of that, I don’t want to recommend it to anyone because I don’t want to encourage Canonical.
If I’m looking it from a new user’s perspective, snaps offer an easy way to install many apps. If people actually care about their downsides they will eventually find out and stop using them on their own.
Yeah, I’m not talking about the technical issues. Those are just growing pains. Snap is really no better or worse than, say, Flatpak. I don’t like dealing with it, but that’s not why I wouldn’t recommend Ubuntu.
It’s stuff like redirecting apt installs to snaps. It’s Canonical I have issue with, not Ubuntu itself.
