Why did you go this way, if I may ask?
I already had Arch installed but was facing some bugs on Framework hardware. The official Framework forums advised to try to reproduce it on Fedora, which is officially supported distro. I just wanted to keep all of my stuff in home including KDE config, all my programs data, dotfiles etc, as well as disk layout encryption and so on. It was pretty short way for making drop-in replacement for Arch - extracted the OS to a new btrfs subvolume, configured bootloader and some basics, installed all my needed packages and all the same flatpaks and thatβs it. It felt like nothing ever changed
That's the magic of distro-agnostic DE's :)
Happy it worked for you without a hitch - it's not the most conventional operation out there :)
Try installing Guix from live-bootstrap
I used arch btw
Does it break anything meaningful to remove it? I haven't run any mainline Ubuntu distro in years mostly because of the snap bullshit

As someone pretty new to linux, what's wrong with snaps? I've seen a lot of memes dunking on them but haven't run into any issues with the couple that ive tried (even had a problem with a flatpack version of a program that the snap version fixed, though I think it may have been related to an intentional feature of flatpacks rather than a bug).
I'll just link my comment from the other day: https://lemmy.world/comment/19749012 (also read Morphit's reply, it gets worse)
