The most annoying thing for me was the huge internet data usage by snap updates but it is better now.

Linux for Human Beings.
Ubuntu is a popular Linux operating system for PC / mobile devices, etc.
Developed by Canonical & based on Debian (another older Linux OS) which is known for it's rock solid stability.
Ubuntu is trusted everywhere computing by professionals and common users alike.
I still want to be able to choose whether or not to use snaps. I donβt care how friendly they get.
I understand the sentiment. That said, you're forced to use deb files from Ubuntu's repositories. π« There are some fundamental choices that are made for you by the OS developers. Sometimes you have more leeway, sometimes less. It's not the first time and this isn't the only system component people have complained about. Ultimately if a user disagrees with a choice that the OS developer has made about a system upon which the OS developer depends to ship a working system, it's probably wiser to switch OSes than fuck around with the system.
