Not the first time this has happened, but recently the Snap store from Canonical hosted a scam bitcoin app that claimed to be Exodus wallet that caused a user to lose money.
As someone who has been using Ubuntu for 10 years, I am sad that I don’t know more about the intricacies of Linux.
I know more than I did 10 years ago… But probably would really be uncomfortable running arch.
I think I will install Debian 24.04 as my desktop (daily driver) this year and be done with Ubuntu. Hopefully I learn some more and eventually try out Arch on my laptop.
You can also play with it in a virtual machine. It won’t give you quite the same experience for your specific hardware, but you will get a feel for how it works, especially the package manager etc.

I like Mint for Ubuntu’s simplicity without Canonical’s bullshit
