I'm not sure for Ubuntu... I've seen here and there that some snap are still not as good as flatpak or .deb.

Especially the steam one where some games wouldn't launch on the snap but do with the flatpak or the .deb. Progress are made regularly, but until the snaps aren't on par with other packages type, I wouldn't recommand Ubuntu for beginners.

Distro based on it, without snap, yeah sure. Pop OS, tuxedo OS, Mint, Debian... There is a lot of alternative where you do not have to struggle on forced non finished applications.
