From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thats a wrong answer.
Tried Ubuntu a few years back. Snap was a big part of why I dropped it. Started using Pop_OS last year, and while it's still not my main driver (mostly because of gaming issues), I split my time between it and windows pretty evenly.
I have Kubuntu installed on my desktop, been using it for years. I had disabled snap Firefox and used a Deb version, but the other day I discovered that Kubuntu reinstalled the snap Firefox.
I've been planning to switch to Debian on my desktop, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. This little incident is reminding why I want to in the first place.
