	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Great distribution for beginners on Linux; Customized GNOME desktop environment; Supports restricted codecs. Cons Snap is enabled by default (and you can't uninstall it easily). The Snap Firefox has a problem where I can't access some banks here in Brazil that uses Warsaw (CEF, Banco Itaú, BB, etc.), as it doesn't work.
