I’m a software developer with plenty of linux experience but I just want a distro that just works without me having to troubleshoot everything all the time. I am lazy and I just want something easy and reliable. I don’t want an update to break it. But I want the ability to customise it if I want to and the ability to install pretty much everything available easily.
Basically I want MacOS, but as Linux. I’m very hopeful that there’s something I have overlooked!
I tried Ubuntu, the whole “snap” thing genuinely made me go crazy. I tried to disable it and get rid of it completely, but it was way too hard to switch off and ultimately made me give up on Ubuntu. I can’t remember what it was about the snaps that was so frustrating, but I feel like it was something around sandboxing of the applications. Made me feel like I had no control over my computer
