I use Ubuntu. I used to use Mint but a couple of years ago I started running into issues when trying to install it on new laptops. I'm growing older and am not as enthusiastic when it comes to troubleshooting so Ubuntu it is. I hate the Snap stuff though. I've run into so many issues. Beyond what Ubuntu installs itself, I install everything through apt. If it isn't broken, don't fix it.
