Not OP, but… the reason why I won’t use Ubuntu is that whole snap thing. I’m not hating on snaps in general (although I prefer flatpak), but I hate what Ubuntu does with them. You apt install firefox and yet it still ignores your command and do whatever it feels like doing. Why? Why not leave both options available while maybe prefering snaps for inexperienced users (I mean like gui store default to snap)? This is just one thing now, but what might be next? This smells whole lot like Microsoft approach (light version). And I don’t like this direction.
Yes, that’s why I said gui store might default to snap because that’s what new users are using. But when you explicitly put command to terminal and it still ignores it? That’s not what I expected when I jumped MS ship…

I get that, they shouldn’t replace debs with snaps, but offer both. Snap as default makes sense for new users though
