You could try out Linux Mint¹, they’re Ubuntu based and disable Snap by default².

Linux mint has no GNOME or KDE variant, so while they fix many Ubuntu issues, they are still on XOrg.

So? There’s nothing preventing someone from installing either, and they’re adding Wayland support to Cinnamon.

True one can install it on Mint. But at that level, just

  • install Kubuntu
  • add timeshift
  • run unsnap (removes snap, installs flatpak and flathub, installs apps as flatpaks)
  • add the new official deb repo for Firefox
  • remove a possibly installed Firefox Flatpak (has missing sandboxing) and install with apt

I did just that when I first switched to Linux, I installed KDE Neon on Linux Mint. And it broke everything. And when I went to forums to ask for help everyone yelled at me. So maybe don’t recommend installing KDE on Linux Mint.

It is a work in progress. Also I don’t think it is going to matter that much for most people. Worse case you can install gnome on Linux Mint.
