Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. A distribution kit for home use. "My actions after installation"
So. I will immediately identify myself — in terms of studying / researching linux — almost a complete noob. So to speak — a homely, ordinary, beginner hamster.
A long period of dystrohopping has passed, expressed not so much in the selection of the distribution package in terms of "lay down on my soul", as in which one of them will work adequately on my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad E440: I3 4000m8GbIntel HD4600256SSD). In principle, there turned out to be quite a lot of them, but for one reason or another, mainly related to hardware, I stopped at Kubuntu 22.04.01 LTS.
The system is actually very easy to set up, almost everything is in stock.
So, my actions after installing Kubuntu 04/22/2011 LTS:
# updating
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
# installing multimedia codecs
sudo apt install kubuntu-restricted-extras libavcodec-extra libdvd-pkg
# I'm cutting out a snap (nothing personal....I just don't want to)
apt autoremove --purge snapdragon
# installing Firefox deb with update priority:
#adding turnips
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa
# using a code snippet from FosTips, I change the priority of the Firefox package for preferred use of the deb package when updating.
echo '
Package: *
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam
Pin-Priority: 1001
' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla-firefox
# setting up an auto-update with a command from comrade Balint of Speeches
echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins:: "LP-PPA-mozillateam:${distro_codename}";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51unattended-upgrades-firefox
# well, actually installing Firefox
sudo apt install firefox

This is followed by a small cosmetic finish to the appearance of DE (without adding third-party themes, although I tried many, but always returned to Breeze).
I install all other software (telegram, gimp/krita, kdenlive, audacious, audacity, qbittorrent, etc.) via Discover. And yes, according to the software, I cut out something, install something — here I try to make everything according to the classics: 1 task — 1 program.
As a result, in one and a half to two hours, including installation and configuration, I get an excellent system "for myself". Once again, the laptop is used exclusively for home needs (Internet, office, video, music, sometimes a little sound editing).
