From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end up feeling very limited."
What DE are you using? Gnome?
KDE, but it seems I soft-broke it as well while installing after regular Gnome Ubuntu. Now I'm installing Kubuntu on my laptop and will try out any other distro on a new SSD I bought for my desktop.
As others pointed, doing stuff in a rush and blindly using guides and pasting commands makes everything more difficult. No matter how robust or good the UI is lol
Yeah it has been my experience that, even though it is technically possible to swap DEs in an install or even have multiple installed at once, they don't seem to be designed for it, and they will start to fight. I once installed Cinnamon on Pop!_OS alongside their funky in-house implentation of Gnome, and Flatpak stopped working.
