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's pretty easy to disable snap entirely.

Is it a switch in gnome sw or settings? If not it's not pretty easy

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!
