    Check out Mint. It’s based on Ubuntu but has Canonical’s controversial stuff removed, plus an added layer of polish.

      What version of Firefox does it install? I tried Ubuntu, but the Snaps are having real trouble with my N150 CPU in the mini PC I bought. Cannot do hardware video decoding at all, despite the CPU being more than capable of it.

        Well, the Snaps are one of the things they took out. Flatpaks are enabled in the software manager by default though.

        I believe everything that comes preinstalled, including Firefox and LibreOffice and such, is installed the traditional way as if you did “apt install firefox.”

        I installed LibreWolf and like it. It’s just firefox with telemetry removed and some privacy hardening out of the box.
