      Universal Blue is my go-to. Their OSs feel like the future. They are so easy to use and low maintenance. The upgrades happen in the background and apply automatically when you restart your computer.

      There are three flavors: Bazzite for gaming Bluefin and Aurora for basic workstations and developers

      I went with Aurora for myself because I like the developer focused stuff. But I also do a lot of gaming. Even though it’s not gaming focused, it’s still great for gaming.

      My wife uses it on her laptop, too. She doesn’t give a shit what her OS is as long as it works and she can use the browser.

        Hi there. I just installed Kubuntu on a spare machine, but I ran into a problem with the snaps. How would one “de-snap” it? Can you point me in the right direction?
