I despise snap. There's a reason why we use apt / yum / pacman or whatever, and that's because traditional package management works.

When I install something through snap or flatpack, invariably it starts slower, has worse performance, is much more bloated and is generally a much more janky experience than just getting it from the apt repo. Snaps are the number one reason why I use popOS or mint over ubuntu.



IMO Snap is nothing more than bloatware designed as a resume building project by newby programmers.
