What were they going for with snaps? I’m really not trying to be snarky. I genuinely don’t understand why my favorite OS that has become more and more stable and usable since I first started using it, has now switched to this crap. I now need to reconfigure snap profiles to make normal usage possible? Wtf!
Snaps bundle dependencies and sandbox applications. The dependencies aspect is what matters more to me, but apparently there’s also security benefits if you were to try to install a malicious program.
You can remove snapd, doing so also removes a number of built in apps. But at that point you may start questioning why you’re not just using Debian stable and add the stuff you want. Both of these options pretty much defeat the point of what Ubuntu was.
