I use Ubuntu.

Downvotes to the right mocking laughs to my face.

Ubuntu may be good at being semi-stable.

Just run unsnap and experience actually secure apps.

Did you know that Snaps are only sandboxed on Ubuntu with Apparmor? This makes them more versatile than Flatpaks using Bubblewrap (the whole system is sandboxed like that) but will break all sandboxing if systems dont use Apparmor, or dont include all patches.

But not voluntarily. Since it's.integrated with apt you randomly get snap garbage installed instead.

Last I used Ubuntu, removing snap was a one time thing that took 5 minutes, of which 4 of them was looking for my notes from the time before.

I ditched Ubuntu, but it wasn't because of snap. Maybe this has changed in the last 3 years?

Yes. Now if you use apt to install Firefox or Thunderbird, it will reinstall snap and install the snap versions of those programs.
If you blacklist snap, it'll throw an error when you try to install Firefox or Thunderbird cause it can't resolve their "dependencies".
You'll have to install those programs from outside of Ubuntu's repositories, and the list of affected programs is growing.
Ubuntu's stated goal is to eventually use snap for all userland apps.
