I’m daily driving Ubuntu and my experience aligns with this.
My only gripe is snaps can break copy/paste and prevent me from saving files where I want. This might make Ubuntu unusable for people using Linux for the first time and makes no sense if you dont understand how snaps are sandboxed and how permissions work. The solution is install with apt.
The installer, system configuration programs and UI experience is really good. I argue it is a much superior experience to Windows and arguably better than OS/X. A lot less garbage being shoved down customers throats.
Oh word! I forgot about Signal. I use the snap for that. It works well. I think copy/paste works with it.
I used apt for Firefox, Krita, ffmpeg, Blender and Ksnips
I think the big commercial programs I use were installed with vendor scripts
