macOS UI capabilities aside, I have to mention that the latest Kubuntu 22.04 Long Term Support (LTS) 2022 release with KDE Plasma 5.24 is a fantastic upgrade. The system is snappy, much more so than under the previous Kubuntu 20.04 2020 release. Moreover, the 5.15 Linux kernel seems to be handling huge memory allocations for virtual machines an order of magnitude faster than the previous 5.4 kernel.
If you are tired of macOS, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Kubuntu 22.04 LTS a try. (You can always buy a second GPU and run macOS inside a QEMU virtual machine, 99% stable at native UI speeds with GPU passthrough.)
- timbit42 4y agoSnaps aren't snappy though. I switched to Linux Mint and put KDE on it.
- gary17the 4y agoIt's possible to run the entire Kubuntu system with `apt` and/or local `deb` packages only - I uninstalled `snapd` a long time ago.
- timbit42 4y agoRight, but if you remove snapd, you then have to find somewhere else to get those packages. With Linux Mint, all the packages are in the default repo.
