Same here. Got my start on Ubuntu, always loved Ubuntu, but they lost me to Debian because of snaps. My reasons are different from yours: I can tolerate UI issues, polluting the mount list is far worse, but the dealbreaker is that the user is not allowed to disable automatic updates on snaps, the option merely delays updates for a maximum of 30 days. I simply cannot accept someone patching my OS against my will, what is this, Windows? And since Ubuntu went all in on snap, more and more system apps are snaps, so it's not as simple as removing snapd, I see what's coming on the horizon. The snap developers arrogantly tell you you're wrong for wanting to disable automatic updates, and they will not make it optional like it is for apt. This is despite the snap store being a far less tested/reviewed repo than the apt repo. So any rando can upload a snap package, you can install it after approving it, then said rando can push a malicious update, and it will be immediately deployed to my PC against my will. "Use another distro if you don't like it?" OK, that's what I did. But I would still be a Ubuntu user if the snap devs weren't so smug and antagonistic.
