Tangent, but I hate snap with the fury of a thousand suns. That single handedly pushed me to pop, then mint.

Same, I use Kubuntu but yeah, I do keep snap disabled. Tried it several years ago, can't stand it. I do like Canonical and Ubuntu for servers and of course, Kubuntu for all our home machines, wife loves it too.

Yeah it isn't great. I have stuck with Ubuntu because I have some peculiar hardware which is well supported. I have learned to live with it.
