Hi, i'm new to Linux as a Windows user for over 10 years and i've been wanting to try Linux after finally listening to my friends. Out of all the distros i've seen the two that appeal the most to me are Kubuntu and Mint. I've seen many videos, guides, forums discussing about the two but i just can't make up my mind. I'll try both on a live USB ofc to at least experience them both before i choose one or another but what i'd like to ask is if there's any recommendations or thoughts i could see on the two? specially on Kubuntu since i haven't seen many people discussing it. Also, i've seen many people disregard any Ubuntu-based distro for using Snap, is it really that bad?
What im looking for is basicly any distro with good enough customization for the UI (the more the better), that's at least beginner-friendly and to run games on a low-end PC (mostly in Steam). If i could get any thought on both i'll be really glad!
SPECS:
GPU : Intel Celeron G530 2.4GHz
RAM: 8 gb
Graphics : GT 1030 (not installed yet, the built in are Intel)
