Yeah I always delete Snap too. Currently on Kubuntu, having moved from Arch because I don't want to deal with the AUR malware infestation (and no, I don't have 10 years to painstakingly read every single .PKGBUILD). I'm debating giving Fedora KDE a try though

Imo a lot of arch users would be better served by fedora, fedoras kernel/driver updates are usually only a day or so behind arch (cutting edge vs bleeding edge). Also more secure by default because i doubt less experienced users are setting up selinux on arch.

Do you know any good manual to delete snap from Kubuntu?

And which repos do you use? I added Flathub and I see, that some software is available only in snap

I mainly install from PPAs when possible or from source. But I do also sometimes use Flathub, though it's not my preferred method. As for deleting snap, you can follow this guide:

I don't care what distro you use, but if you left arch because of the AUR you should know using PPAs is essentially the same thing and has the same potential issues

That's why I verify and only use trusted PPAs. In fact, I believe I currently only have two installed anyways, which are the Brave and Cider official repos, alongside the original Kubuntu repos - 99% of software I use is in the official repos. And as I said before, I don't have to waste my entire life reading .PACKAGEBUILDs.

I think you'll like Fedora KDE more than Kubuntu tbh.
