unsnap VS manjarno

Might I suggest unsnap?

This seems very similar to Alan Pope's unsnap project - Is there anything you're doing differently? https://github.com/popey/unsnap

If you are referring to this project, then I'm sorry to tell you that you got it wrong.

Reminder that if you don't like snaps, it's pretty easy to migrate away using: https://github.com/popey/unsnap

Might check out https://github.com/popey/unsnap

You can just use this to remove snap tho: https://github.com/popey/unsnap

How? Should I follow these instructions? https://github.com/popey/unsnap

The best Debian/Ubuntu-based distro that uses Plasma would probably be Kubuntu with unsnap if you're not a snap fan.

If snaps are your only issue, don't leave Ubuntu. Look into unsnap (https://github.com/popey/unsnap). Determine if your lag is snap related.

Snaps are so bad that one of Canonical's star employees left and tweeted about snap issues saying that "They get ignored or dismissed. The CTO flat doesn't believe there's a problem. The team is understanffed and there is no motivation from IoT and enterprise focused people to fix desktop problems. Been trying from the inside for years. I gave up hope and left.". Same guy later went on to create the unsnap repo on github which helps users find replacements for their snap packages among flatpaks etc - and this wasn't a "jaded employee" thing so much as him trying to look out for users' best interests. Good on him.

Manjaro downsides : list

Manjaro: just avoid it even if it is (apparently) newbie firendly.

Dude is a bot replying "Manjaro on x86 crashes and breaks alot". I would say Manjaro breaks a lot regardless of the architecture: https://manjarno.snorlax.sh/

windows: forces major updates to a new not yet ready major version windows: every app has a auto-launch and randomly updates in the background or is outdated windows: updates get stuck and happen right before meetings, etc windows: adds ads to your filemanager during updates and overall is more of a downgrade linux: i tell it t update when it fits me and dont even have to restart (ok its better to reboot after major updates, but i can also tell it to download&install everything and apply it during the next reboot) linux: if for some reason anything breaks i can just undo the update within grub/systemd-boot - meanwhile updating thunderbird killed one of my windows installations permanently manjaro: a burning shipwreck on all sides minimal-distros and other ones i wouldnt recommend for average users: updates require the terminal mint/pop/ubuntu/fedora: updates are neat little pop-ups and just offer it and work

Sets out to be an easy entry to Arch with sane defaults. It tries to achieve this by making the installation of Arch easy, adding GUI-tools to ease you into Linux, own repos with less bleeding-edge software and it ships a configured Btrfs+Timeshift for easy rollbacks to a working system. Unfortunately, the team behind Manjaro has some troubles...
