I respect people who don't like snaps, but Canonical will not abandon a successful project (slrpnk.net)

I'd be curious to see some statistics on how many Ubuntu users removed snaps vs how many haven't changed the default.

I’d bet most ubuntu user don’t know the difference between snap and deb, tho.

I didn't until apps started breaking. The snap version of steam, Firefox, and Unity (I think?) all started to have issues. When I googled around people would often ask "deb or snap"? I uninstalled the snap packages and installed the deb packages and most of my issues went away.

I ultimately switched to Linux Mint because I kept having stability issues and I was just desperate for a solution. But snap was not a great experience for me.

It would of been a little less bad if they hadn't forced it on everyone over night. It also didn't help that it had a ton of complexity and overhead.

I didn't use Flatpak for the longest time as I was scared from years prior.

Exactly, wouldn't most of the people who really care already have moved on from Ubuntu?

I remove that abomination every chance I get.

I removed it and it was a pain.
