Personally, once I discovered Martin Wimpress' `deb-get` tool, I removed both snap and flatpak from my own main Ubuntu boxes. But then I joined the freebie Ubuntu Pro deal and then snapd gets reinstalled, so it didn't seem worth fighting it. But Pro has nothing I personally need, so I may yet purge them both again. If nothing else, I enjoyed the faster startups, the cleaner `mount` output, and the simpler update routine.
