2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

    It used to be, Snap ootb is remarkably horrible, I had a not-good internet plan and Snap drove me crazy with its updates, I could’ve settled fine if auto updates could be switched off, but nope, they’re shoved down my throat, I’d say Mint is a better starter distro

        There are a couple of packages that I use the snap of. At least I’m the software store (not the stupid snap store) you can select which type of install you want to use. Sometimes there is an option for Deb, snap, AND flatpak in the drop down. Now that’s cool!
