I dual booted primarily Linux (Ubuntu) with a Windows 7 backup while at University, but since then I’ve been mainly on Windows for compliance on work machines and reverted to running Windows 10 on my old (2012 era) desktop hardware.
Worth the recent death of Windows 10 I tried to jump back to Ubuntu but my God what is this flatpak nonsense and all the other shit they’ve pulled over the years?? It felt very different and lasted about 4 boots before installing the nVidia driver left me stuck at 1280x720 resolution. I haven’t booted it since.
Looking for suggestions on Linux distros to try that are flatpak free and ideally Debian based, but modern enough to run steam, wine, proton and legacy nvidia drivers

You don’t need to install anything as flatpacks. They are just a convenience
