I think it's just elitism. The worst example is Chris Titus making a video where he explains why you shouldn't use Ubuntu. And then proceeds to make video explaining how it's not actually that bad and he uses it with a different DE.

But now 300K people saw that Ubuntu bad for stupid reasons, from a "reputable" source.

Could have been installed as a dependency of something. https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/04/remove-snap-block-ubuntu-2204/ You can also make sure apt won't install it again

I was recommended this https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.vikdevelop.SaveDesktop Seems very user friendly and can do everything except for installing software.

The money comes from corporate customers, that's the sad truth. If you go to RedHat's website, their Worsktation option is hidden in menus as well. Fedora doesn't seem to be mentioned at all.

I politely disagree. Finding the Core ISO is harder than the Server/Desktop ones. https://ubuntu.com/download/core

There's a Build Your Core button. And that takes you to a docs page that lets you download a pre-built image. I think it's pretty obvious that this is not the Desktop Ubuntu.

Yeah, that sucks. I would still want it if I were to use Fedora, as an option.

I checked and Fedora dropped support for the snap plugin. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/enable-snap-in-gnome-software/76134

These are also the only packages related to gnome-software:

Related Packages

    gnome-software-devel
    gnome-software-fedora-langpacks
    gnome-software-rpm-ostree

From what I remember, their gnome-software already has flatpak support. So all that will be missing is the GUI snap support. Could've been worse.

I added sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-snap gnome-software-plugin-flatpak gnome-software Looks like Fedora does not have gnome-software-plugin-snap or gnome-software-plugin-flatpak in its repos.

This makes a lot of sense

I don't wish to learn Nix. I'm perfectly fine with Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora. When a new version comes out, all I have to do is change the versions of the extensions according to the new Gnome version.

Nope, I don't touch the snap-store on Ubuntus (to be fair I don't install any snap plugins for gnome software center on Debian/Fedora either). As for flatpak, it's installed via apt from the regular repos. I didn't even know there was an up to date PPA.

I know about this but that's meant for 18.04 and earlier.

Edit: these are good suggestions tho. Something to work on to improve it even more.
