I started using ubuntu 2 years ago and its great. Just disable snaps. It's like 5 commands (and you have to reinstall Firefox).

You stop snap store from running, disable it from restarting then set apt over snap store as default.

It's not hard. I did it day 1 of using Linux. Plus there's guides a plenty on how to do it.

The Windows network troubleshooter is black magic from the depths of hell itself and is very opinionated and selective in choosing which issues to fix and whether you'll need to bargain your soul to recieve said fix. I have red hair and find it doesn't bother bartering with me, but your mileage may vary.

Are you using a package manager or downloading everything from virtualboxs website? When I installed virtual box earlier today it all worked fine so that's why I ask.

I uninstalled my filesystem. I think I was cutting down on packages and used the purge command at the wrong time. Ended up uninstalling nemo with the purge command and removed all packages associated, including the filesystem. Then I was all surprised pikachu when everything stopped working and upon reboot nothing happened

Agreed. I think I've been burnt especially because I like recommending them to others and I've had to stop doing that recently because they seem to be spiralling a little.

I dont get the downvotes, the person who posted it isn't Linus...

Well maybe once I get a job in tech (I graduate at the end of november) I could justify spending the time... it will give me a better understanding of computers after all.

I'd love to do this someday but I really don't have the time to experiment at the moment. I need something that allows me to be lazy so I can just work on things.

Just wanted to add DIYPerks to the list because he makes some cool stuff

I sent a tarball of ~~downloaded movies~~ linux iso's around once and my family thought I'd been hacked.

I tried Nobara once and it doesn't play nicely with my computers secure boot. It didn't recognise it as a valid boot disk. I never got further than that since every other distro allowed me to boot. OpenSUSE would be a good one to try, I appreciate it's a stable rolling release! It almost sounds perfect!

I'll definitely give Mint a go! I'll give pop os a try as well since they have their new DE coming soon.

Edit: spelling
