    Here's a fresh review of Kubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, tested on a laptop with hybrid Intel-Nvidia graphics and 4K display, covering installation with encryption, look and feel, customization, everyday usability, proprietary drivers setup, PRIME profiles configuration, performance and responsiveness, comparison to early experience with this distro on this system, various small bugs, other observations, and more. Take a look.

    Thanks.
    btw, do you clear your Kubuntu of snaps?

    No. I actually use Firefox snap and Firefox from tarball side by side. Also, for example, Upscayl from snap works great.
