Snap infestation is highest in Ubuntu - so I am planning to switch to some alternative (and due to other Canonical excesses like ads in CLI system tools).

My current candidates are Debian and Pop!OS.

Consider Linux Mint as well. It's about as close to "Ubuntu without Snaps" as you can get while still having a separate community and dedicated devs.

Try Fedora. I used to be an ubuntu guy, changed to Fedora KDE years ago and never looked back.
