Personal experience but I’ve found that Ubuntu breaks far more easily if I’m doing anything nonstandard, and doing nonstandard things is the whole reason I’m on Linux. Probably this is because of snaps, but as a new user it’s hard to tell where things were installed and how. Switched to fedora and had a lot more success and didn’t go back, so maybe as a power user I’d be able to figure it out more, but not worth it imo.
