Kubuntu is ok for a new person on linux?

I want to install apps/programms via flatpak

The second line is the argument why all the Ubuntus aren’t for newcomers anymore. Canonical attempts to push users into failed technologies (Snap instead of Flatpak in this case).

So if you want to keep using Kubuntu over something like Fedora KDE, you are expected to learn how steer around these artificial limitations.

Btw, KDE are currently in the process of developing KDE Linux. It is not done, yet, but may be worth to check into from time to time.

“we want to be the Apple of the Linux World”

Funny that they constantly fail at that ambition, though.
