I’ve not used Ubuntu based since pop 22.04, so sorry for the misinformed question. What’s the user facing issue with snap? I know the repos are solely managed by Ubuntu, but I didn’t have any issue I could attribute to snap. Actually I liked it had terminal app support, not only graphical ones like flatpak (last I checked at least)
It’s slow, and not great for desktop usage. Also, some apt packages have been transformed into snaps. If you do sudo apt install firefox it no longer installs the deb version, but the snap. I (and probably many other people) don’t like this lack of transparency and choice. It just feels like getting snaps pushed down our throats.
