    next setup i want to figure out is working off customized archiso with all state in e2e cloud and/or local spinning rust.

    The mintBackup Backup Tool

    > Ubuntu out of the box is not a great experience.

    I personally went with Linux Mint, because it doesn't try to push snaps and honestly the Cinnamon desktop is lovely and gets out of the way, a bit like XFCE but in some ways more polished: https://www.linuxmint.com/

    It's nice that I don't even need custom scripts, it's pretty good out of the box.

    That said, contrary to popular opinion, I actually liked back when Ubuntu had the Unity desktop, it felt better to me than GNOME, but maybe that's just me. I guess there are projects like https://ubuntuunity.org/ out there still, but using something that's not popular nowadays seems like it might lead to issues down the road.

    For servers, Ubuntu LTS is fine as is.
