Canonical announced some time ago their Steam Snap which was promoted as stable with Ubuntu 23.04, as they continue to push their own packaging format with Snap but it seems this has been causing problems for Valve.
The day they started pushing snaps into APT and making it a pain to choose the non-snap version… I left Ubuntu. If I wanted to install the snap I would’ve used snap install not apt install
Yeah before I use Ubuntu. my first exposure on Linux is Linux Mint and it seems Linux Mint support secure boot atm. if this gets worst. I will go back to linux Mint again
Or you can use Linux Mint Debian edition, which is basically the same, but with older (and better maintained IMO) packages from Debian instead of newer packages from Ubuntu.

Linux Mint is just Ubuntu but with no snaps and better optimized for desktop (as opposed to server) use

For sure, LMDE is fantastic at this point. Best reason to take regular Mint over it is the built-in alternate desktop options.
