Instead it hides snap and acts as if it didn't exist.
That’s usually good enough.
Mint is also a really stable foundation and comes with cinnamon mh preferred desktop and goes hard right outside the box for me
Hand has time shift installed by default so I just have to remember to set it up on install
sure but for a beginner, those two pros are essential
