Ah yes, "snap". This is exactly why I refuse to use Ubuntu any more. Snap is hideously slow, spits goo all over the mount table, and is just the most miserable thing I've ever seen. I'm 100% sure it was devised and implemented by Microsoft to discourage Linux users.

The changes made to Files during the last iteration are horrible, too. Though, to be fair, that's probably Gnome more than Ubuntu, but still!

As an FYI, if you're interested in Ubuntu if not for snap, it's not too hard to remove. If you google something like 'Ubuntu disable snap' you should get some pretty straightforward guides. I run Ubuntu on my home PC, snap-free.

Agreed. Snap is garbage
