that 'designated distro' for newcomers used to be ubuntu. probably still is. as much as i'd want to say mint or some other variant of ubuntu or debian that i happen to like.. 'one man shows' and distros with very small teams aren't what a new user should be going with. there's a reason why so many base off ubuntu. it's big. it's solid. and it just works.
Ubuntu was always the answer I gave, but it feels like they've fallen out of favor with the whole snap debacle.
As a technically literate person who is mostly new to Linux, Snaps along with Canonical's corporate behavior was initially a dealbreaker for me.
Except now I'm on Zorin (a Ubuntu fork) and find I can install flatpak, apt, etc as well, so I'm not wholly opposed to it anymore.
Still think they're assholes for taking initial steps in a paywall direction, though, not to mention doing the FOSS community that way.
