Please don't say Bazzite as I wasn't able to get SteamVR working on it. I'm looking for alternatives. The current plan is to try plain old Ubuntu instead.

You can remove snap easily thankfully. Agree tho, Fedora is the best OOBE.

Having to remove stuff from a fresh installation doesn't really feel acceptable. That's the kind of BS Windows users put up with.

Agreed. And Canonical routinely tries to sneak snaps back in, to the point where the official Firefox instructions include instructions for pinning their deb repo above the Ubuntu one:
