snap is installed on ubuntu server too, and if some junior engineer comes in, how are they supposed to know not to use it?
How are they supposed to know that after googling some variation on "install docker ubuntu" and getting "snap install docker" (https://snapcraft.io/docker https://snapcraft.io/docker), they should ignore those very official looking instructions which will give them a broken and buggy docker installation?
Perhaps the problem's theoretical, but canonical certainly encourages using snaps on servers, such as in the microk8s docs (https://microk8s.io/docs/getting-started https://microk8s.io/docs/getting-started), and I expect if canonical keeps pushing it, it'll become more and more of a server problem in reality too.
