Speaking of systemd hate and ambivalence, Podman devs recently made a decently big change with how to enable containers to persist on boot. Podman moved from systemd service files to quadlets, which is basically like a docker compose file containing the configuration for each container or pod. All you have to do is place it in a directory, reload the daemon to get persistent containers now running as a service. There was a lot of hate on github comments about it, but I think it's a good change.

Frankly, it's ridiculous that no networking solution other than systemd provides a way to use split dns natively.

Here's a quarter kid, run your own DNS server.

Then configure your DNS server to do it.
We've been able to run local+recursive DNS in the same server since BIND 4.x. The modern stuff like unbound makes it trivial. Heck it can even do stuff like just redirect *.pool.ntp.org to a single IP so systemd.timesyncd stops trying to go to the Internet(yes, well aware this is a default configuration issue from the distribution).

Yes, I know you *can* do this, but why should I run yet another DNS server if I don't have to?

But you said you are running a DNS server. There's no reason for a second one, you just configure it properly.
Having to do split DNS on hosts is great until you want it to work with a phone, or a Windows system, which can apparently do it if you like powershell. Then you want your one DNS server to give the correct answers for everything.
As usual this was a solved problem before systemd-resolved came to confuse the issue.

I don't need to do it on those things. I need to do it on VPSes that need to bootstrap a connection, where I'm already using systemd-networkd for its integration with systemd-nspawn, which is better than docker for my needs bc everyone makes docker containers that are too opinionated for my needs.

The first time I installed a systemd-resolved infected box and I couldn't reach stuff on my home network by name I was, as expected, a bit pissed off. I think most distributions have rolled back the default stupidity some as I haven't seen that in a while. As I recall even when provided with a DHCP DNS server and a proper domain name it was going to the Internet for DNS. Which, come to think of it is much like the broken default timesyncd configuration which caused my to tell my firewall that *.pool.ntp.org is my router, always, and blocked 123 at the border for any other device.
Or maybe it was just Ubuntu, reading the defaults for their resolved is just horrible, I knew I stopped using it for a reason... besides Snap.

im into KDE and can't decide should i use kubuntu kde neon or arch with KDE im a new user so im weary of doing arch first but im highly considering it as downloading stuff on linux mint is a pain

How is downloading stuff on Mint a pain? Could be a Gnome-derivative issue, a Debian issue, or a PEBKAC issue.
KDE Neon uses a stable Ubuntu base but has the latest KDE version so is the prettiest

it has 2 different packages some debian some flatpak and theres so many things to do like 5 different commands for flatpak or debian packages being old vs arch is just sudo pacman install insert program and you get the latest version

There is multiple ways to download a program on regular mint, with .debs, Apt repositories, the mint repositories, Flatpak support, Appimage support, Ubuntu PPA's, snap packages (if you follow the steps in mints documentation), MPR also known as Makedeb (which is similar to arch's AUR but for Debian based distros), pip, etc....

Kubuntu is excellent, it just works, same community quality as Ubuntu's, I use it as my second OS for AI crap.

its such a complex mess compared to the AUR
might consider but it has snaps by default right?

Kubuntu might as its an official flavor of Ubuntu and recently Canonical has required that official flavors have Flatpaks disabled. So highly likely.
If your talking about MPR, yes its not as good or easy to use as AUR due to it being a community made package repo with its own apt like program. But, if your talking about mint as a hole, it real depends on the person. Being Ubuntu based means there is tons of software support and repos with the latest versions of software (usually run by the dev's themselves), with the downside being that the default repo is based on Ubuntu's repos which are really slow in updating software to the latest but good at updating security patches and fixes. Some people like the choice of picking which version they want to use, an older version or the latest version of software, and some like how pacman goes to the latest by default.

All of the official Ubuntu distros listed on their website have snaps on by default, I think. Not sure if the Chinese version does. The rest do.

It sounds like you're looking for a human run, anti-pedophile distribution like Devuan, which blacklists the 'snapd' malware package.
