Snaps, oh snaps, the bane of Ubuntu. If there is one criticism to be leveraged at Ubuntu, it is their snap packaging system. Much like AppImage and Flatpak, Snaps consist of one single package that is isolated from the rest of the system, and includes all of the dependencies. The problem arises when these snap packages start to take up more space and open slower. So, I, like many Ubuntu users am going to show you how you can remove snapd, and everything related to it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m not really sure why you’d choose to run ubuntu if you’re going to go this far to avoid using one of it’s core products.
Well, you might not have chosen to run Ubuntu. At $DAYJOB, we can get a Linux laptop, but only with Ubuntu. I’m really not a fan of Ubuntu, but it is less of a pain in the ass than running Windows with a Linux VM.
That makes sense
Do you throw away a perfectly good burger because there is a single ingredient you don’t like, or do you pick it off and enjoy the rest of your amazing meal?
I mean when the same place sells that exact burger but without the single ingredient you don’t like it would make more sense to get that instead
Why not just use an Ubuntu based distro without snaps installed? I’m sure someone’s made one some where.
