Arch Linux. You make it work the way you want, and in the process learn how your system works. You can fix problems much easier when you know where you left your keys. On distros like Ubuntu, you have a few people responsible for doing the housekeeping on your OS, so you often need their help to do things. That's just a metaphor, not the most accurate description of how it works.

Also, AUR (Arch User Repository) has the kind of packages you find with Flatpaks and Snaps, but it comes in the shape of a simple PKGBUILD file, that contains instructions for your computer to download and build a package from source automatically. As long as you're careful and always check the PKGBUILDs, it's OK.
