Slow, forced. Flatpack is better.
Huh, guess when I eventually end up back on Linux I'll stay away from Ubuntu then. I assume it's in things like Xubuntu and so on too?
I personally wouldn’t stay away from Ubuntu just because of petty nerd shenanigans like this one. At the end of the day it’s still a very mature and beginner friendly distro.
I used to use it back in the day, I even kinda liked that Unity thing they were doing for a minute. Whenever I end up back there (technically I'm already on Linux because I have a Steam Deck) I'm more likely to look for something lightweight

Just use Fedora. In my opinion, it's the new gold standard for standard use Linux distributions.
If you really want an Ubuntu base, Pop!_OS is also good. They're working on making their own desktop environment, which is looking pretty sweet.
