At those times I’m glad that I ditched Ubuntu for Mint. Less stupid shit to deal with. (That was partially motivated by snaps. I’ve seen bored snails in alcoholic stupor running faster than snaps.)
As someone who’s daily driven more than a dozen distros over the past 18 years or so, I used to always go back to Ubuntu because “it just works” and I’ve never had it break from a standard update, unlike Manjaro and (once or twice) Arch. Once the Snap store started being actively pushed, e.g. the Firefox apt package just being an alias for the snap, I jumped ship to Mint permanently for all of my main PCs. Well, also Armbian for my ARM mini PCs, and Asahi for the Mac mini, but yeah.
Fuck Snap and especially fuck the snap store
The move to Snap was a mistake from the Ubuntu team.
