Remember kids: Canonical is not your friend.

Next time, Gort will install Debian and save himself the trouble

Honestly, instead of trying to remove Snap from Ubuntu, I'd just install another distro (PopOS for example is mostly like Ubuntu but with Flatpak instead of Snap)

Installs Ubuntu.
It is Ubuntu.
Gets angry.

Help me understand. Why would you install a distribution, just to gut what's making it what it is, instead of just getting anything else? Just from Debian derivative perspective, if you hate snaps, why not install something like LMDE Mint, if you need a complete out of the box distro?

Just use Debian or Linux Mint Debian Edition and call it a day.

Or just use one of the many Ubuntu derivatives that don't force Snap?

I would rather run literally everything in docker than use snaps

Idea: snap installer called crackle that just unpacks everything (relatively) normally. Should be primarily for pop os. Snap, crackle, and pop.

I'm just sitting here having no problem with the few snaps I use

I just started tinkering with Ubuntu a week ago. What's wrong with snap?

How many time does Canonical have to do sketchy shit before people catch on? Seriously.

Snaps aren’t bad, Canonical might be but then why use Ubuntu?

Am I wrong for ignoring snaps and just using apt-get still?

Just use Linux mint

Could someone ELI5 whats wrong with snaps? I see hate for them all over the place but as an end user with little technical knowledge of linux packaging they seem fine? I can install them and use them, they don't appear to have any anti-FOSS gotchas, so whats the big deal?
