Snaps.

Kubuntu comes with snap support but you can uninstall it and the default snaps, mark the snapd package as forbidden and that’s pretty much it.

But then you could ask the same question again. Why install (K)ubuntu if you’re gonna get rid of snaps anyway.

If you want Plasma with an Ubuntu-based OS without snaps, your best option is probably TuxedoOS (unlike Kubuntu they’re already on Plasma 6 too).

Ubuntu and Kubuntu are nice distros, the problem with Ubuntu is that Canonical makes snaps mandatory. But on Kubuntu you can make them optional.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
