That's the only sane way to use Ubuntu. Snap is abomination
Why not install an Ubuntu spin that doesn't distribute snap?
Ubuntu is embracing an extending Linux through it's Snap repo. Dump it now.
Well, there is nothing wrong with Ubuntu, just Snap.
That sounds like a huge "1 issue", then, if Snaps are supposed to be the way forward for installing packages in Ubuntu as other threads make it seem.
Thank you - :)Reading about the cons of Snap now - "auto-updates cannot be turned off" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap_(package_manager)
Why is not having snap packages good? You can just not use it if you don't like it?
If you dislike snaps I'd suggest having a look at Nix. Feel free to ask if you're looking for any specific feature snaps (or debs) aren't providing.
Won't Ubuntu still use Snap though?
Try Mint (which is derive from Ubuntu, but which strips out all of the snap nonsense).
