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.

Do you throw away a perfectly good burger because there is a single ingredient you don't like, or do you pick it off and enjoy the rest of your amazing meal?
Why not just use an Ubuntu based distro without snaps installed? I'm sure someone's made one some where.
There are, but the default Ubuntu still has the most support. ESM, 5 years of support, and the newest Ubuntu versions as soon as they come. Despite how good some Ubuntu based distro's are, (I love Pop_OS!, Linux Mint, and others) they will never have the 100% support and help you get by using default Ubuntu.
I mean when the same place sells that exact burger but without the single ingredient you don't like it would make more sense to get that instead
It would be like if you could get a almost identical burger from another place without the ingredient you don't like. It is not 100% like the burger you so dearly love, and it is made by another place.
