I don't mind snaps but when even the "software" app, not the snap store downloads from snapcraft or whatever unless you manually change the... and why is even Firefox pre-installed through snap and why is it...

You know, I think I do mind the snaps.

Like seriously, Linux Bros love to rag on Fedora for having a few noncritical software served by flatpaks, but half of Ubuntu being snaps is just fine?

Well if you couldn't find a reason to stop using ubuntu, now you have one.

You wouldn't mind them, if they were simply an offering you could choose to use. You do mind them being pushed onto you, no matter how great they might be.

At least that's how I feel. On my openSUSE system, I might be annoyed that some app chose to package as Snap, not as something else, but it's fine, I'll compile it.
On my work laptop where Ubuntu is the least bad OS available, I'll get annoyed at Snaps for the pettiest garbage, a.k.a. the "snap/"-folder in my home-directory. What kind of jackass thought that was ever a good idea?
