Drive users away?

• curt15 2y ago
  What's driving users away is not snap but rather Canonical's heavy-handed way of foisting snap on users that would make Microsoft proud.

    ... which on its own is one of the better reasons to ditch a distro.

    Yeah this is exactly it. I don't really give a damn about snaps. But when I use apt to install something, and the OS silently installs a snap version instead, that's not acceptable to me. I'm not going to ever use Ubuntu again where I have a choice, personally.

      >But when I use apt to install something, and the OS silently installs a snap version instead Does `apt remove` remove the snap?

        And then 'apt install firefox' or 'apt install thunderbird' installs it back.
