Comment 129 for bug 1575053

I tried to remove snap due to this behaviour (and that gnome-calculator, system monitor doubling insanity) so rushed a little and removed all the snaps before. Then realized that upgrading to 18.10 automatically and forcefully upgraded also my lxd package to snap and migrated my containers with it. So removing lxd snap also removed all my migrated containers from /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/storage-pools/lxdpool. Nice move! It's not so smart flushing user data with a deinstallation of an application is it? It somehow left irrelevant and probably randomly chosen image of fresh centos7 image and one old and not useful centos6 snapshot.

Then I found this issue and many more that are snaps (like no automatically added bash completion and usually no option to have man pages for snap installed binaries (lxd does not even have one inside the snap).

The snap is NOT ready as a product, yet it's pushed down everyone's throats. I will really miss lxd as it was really great product but not as a snap (and debs are already deprecated, also no lxd debs in cosmic).

I doubt You will miss me, but I and many others will miss Ubuntu due to things like that.
