I can confirm that a fresh installation of Windows 11 will require you
to log in (or create) a Microsoft account. This then enables OneDrive by
default and synchronization of your personal files with the cloud. You
can uninstall OneDrive and disable the synchronization later, but your
personal files will remain in C:\Users\User\OneDrive which I find annoying.

The Thunderbird on the Ubuntu box isn't a snap. I must have used apt to
install it. I don't have it on the Fedora or Lubuntu boxes.

Only if you want to install additional apps that aren't in the
initial default set. The default set on a Schok Classic 4G flip
phone includes a web browser, an app to take photos, and several
other things. With a few/several steps to enable it, it even
allows developer mode and USB debugging, so that adb can be used
to retrieve the photos (but apparently not the content of text
messages).

I'll second that. I also long for the days when development
money was spent on making a product _WORK_ and not just on making
it _SELL_. That's why I choose to use Linux. The only Microsoft
product I'm aware of in my house is on the laptop that belongs to
my employer.

I have to say that having used both Snap and Flatpak, I prefer the
former. It actually takes into consideration the theme elements I've
configured unlike Flatpak. In the end, it's the application that matters
and both allow me to install a functional program, but Snap seems to be
better.
