This is why I think Kubuntu is a better suggestion than Ubuntu, and also Discover is better than the Ubuntu Software Center anyways and it makes it easy to avoid Snaps and does a good job managing Flatpaks.

    For family I've been pushing Bazaar. Depending on distro, discover can be lacking on integration. Updating some packages but not others. If your distro does flatpak, and it does. It's click bang done most of the time. No PPAs, or several user/community repos to cock you up randomly.

    Personally I like native and rolling release. But I've been using Linux for 30 plus years. When you just need it to work and be a relatively recent release. Can't argue with results.

    My biggest gripe about it is it uses gtk. Other than that it's fantastic. It's an awesome way to discover and keep your flatpaks up to date.
