It's worth noting that, in addition to Snaps starting up slower (a common complaint on this thread), they actually cause the OS to boot up slower. Every Snap application adds a small amount of startup time. I think I shaved a third off my total time by removing a bunch of Snaps, which is atrocious, unacceptable, and unjustifiable.

- throw10920 4y agoThis is a ridiculous assumption. I'll boot my PC multiple times per day because I dual-boot and I'll sometimes need to switch between OSes repeatedly. This is also a ridiculous dismissal. Snaps don't increase your startup time because it's an intrinsic limitation of the technology (e.g. like how internet connectivity necessitates higher power draw), but because they're designed badly. There's no reason for them to act like that, and people are rightly upset at it.
