      Of course!

      I decided to remain with Kubuntu and I regret it, not gonna lie. If I get into any further problems with this whole mandatory Snap crap, I think I’ll just go ahead and install Debian. It’s the next best thing honestly. It’s just that I already spent a good 2 weeks setting up my system to my liking and it’s pretty much how I want it. I feel a bit lazy having to do it all over again, and then some. Because Debian requires a few extra steps that are covered by some really good quality of life improvements from Ubuntu distros.

      So for anyone that’s stuck like me, I shared this link to help them out.

        @cyborganism if you like the good improvements that Ubuntu provides on top of Debian, but want to avoid anti-user things like snaps and ads in the CLI, there are several distros that are built like that, such as Mint and Tuxedo OS

      We’ll see. I’ve been about to work around it so far, but I might get fed up if I get into more problems and finally do it.
