I have gnome-system-monitor installed as a snap. It never starts for me - it always segfaults.

  GNOME System Monitor is a GNOME process viewer and system monitor with
  an attractive, easy-to-use interface, It has features, such as a tree
  view for process dependencies, icons for processes, the ability to hide
  processes that you don't want to see, graphical time histories of
  CPU/memory/swap usage, the ability to kill/renice processes needing root
  access, as well as the standard features that you might expect from a
  process viewer.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue is due to those invalid permissions which make the initial setup fail

What's the output of those commands?
$ ls -ld /home/vyzivus/snap/gnome-system-monitor/100/
$ ls -l /home/vyzivus/snap/gnome-system-monitor/100/
