      I’m planning to switch away from Kubuntu after using it for at least a decade on my desktop and laptop machines. The whole snap thing gets annoying. Yes, I can override it, I know, but…effort. I’m planning to just go to Debian.

        Just get KDE from the horse’s mouth then and use KDE Neon. Ubuntu packages, but snapd isn’t even installed by default. It also ships with rolling release stable KDE, but isn’t rolling release otherwise.

          I’m not clear on the benefit of that over just running Debian. And aren’t there concerns about Canonical?

            It just means your KDE version is newer, it’s also the distro made by the KDE devs. I’m not too worried about canonical, they’re annoying, but it rarely affects me.

      Thanks for the suggestion.
      I have only ever tried Gnome (and a quick test of ElementaryOS and ZorinOS), but maybe it is time to try another DE.

          Yeah exactly.

          Not too fond of snap, but am trying KDE Neon now, as I’m a “experienced rookie”, but still have never tried any other DE than Gnome…
