You can set when snap refreshes take place: https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date#:~:text=on%20the%20system-,refresh.timer,-Use%20refresh.timer ht

  On that page I'm seeing options for delaying snap updates for a limited time, but I'm not seeing anything to prevent them permanently.

    "Time duration units can be seconds (s), minutes (m) or hours (h), or a combination of these. A value of forever is also valid, to postpone updates indefinitely:" ... "If no duration is specified, the time duration defaults to forever." Just running "snap refresh --hold" should disable snap updates permanently. If you configure your system update script/tooling to unhold the snaps so security fixes can still be installed at the appropriate time, this should mean that no unexpected updates should occur. You could probably even attach the snap unhold + snap refresh + snap hold flow to the APT hooks somehow, integrating snap updates with apt upgrade.

  That doesn't fix any of the other problems Snaps cause.
