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.

Someone needs to make a new distro off of Ubuntu and call it "nosnapuntu"/"desnapuntu" or some shit like that where they only remove snaps completely and just keep releasing it.
It's... Debian?
Ubuntu is based on Debian which doesn't have snap by default AFAICT from bookworm/unstable. In fact it's precisely why I switched back recently. Going from Debian to Ubuntu and now Debian again due to excessive bloatware and "worst" ways to deliver it IMHO.
Aaah, good old debian. I've used it for at least 3 years straight and never had a single issue. It was so stable that it got freaking boring. Lmao. It has a special place in my heart. I remember switching to sid and it was still freaking stable as ever.
