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.

Kubuntu for me. Ive been an on again off again user of either Ubuntu or kubuntu for over a decade now, but that might have to change here soon. The integration of snap is driving me insane, so I've been looking into arch distros recently
Same for me I really like KDE and their tools
I recently try to go with fedora KDE but Ubuntu and Red Hat is the only distro supported by Nvidia dockers toolbox
You might want to try pop. It's based on Ubuntu, so everything is where you'd expect, but as yet doesn't come with snapd installed. I was irritated to find out the other day that apt installing chromium did try to install a snap, but it was easy enough to cancel and pop's excellent GUI package manager got me a flatpak instead. If you're not ready to hop over to Debian, which is what I use on my servers because of snaps, Pop os is worth a shot.
