¿Pq no instalar directamente Ubuntu para tener un escritorio con una apariencia similar sin apenas tocar nada? 🤔

For recent machines it works fine, but on older machines it feels slower than non-encapsulated software.

For a home user with recent hardware in my opinion the system to beat is openSUSE Tumbleweed. It is a stable and rolling distribution, that is, it has the best of both worlds.
