If this question was asked before, I apologize in advance for the redundancy.
I recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu on my laptop. Still getting the hang of Ubuntu, but I see a lot of comments on different posts in which a majority of them point to using Mint instead.
Would the best recommendation, be to switch to Mint from Ubuntu?
snap is easily excised, snap list, snap remove (everything in list0, apt remove snapd, only thing of importance is Ubuntu’s introduction box and firefox, firefox can be installed directly from mozilla’s repo. In my view the introductory box has zero value so no reason to install it.
What you are referring to as the system search isn’t, it’s only part of the default desktop. If you use anything but gnome you’ll never see it.
