Comment 53 for bug 1575053

I came to the same conclusion as aeronutt. Snaps - as is - are at best pre-production. When I saw what it does on a 18.04 LTS (like having a plethora of loopback devices, having serious performance issues), I decided to get rid of it.

Not only that but having default applications (gnome-system-monitor, gnome-calculator) to be installed as snaps is just... insane. That's the kind of stable software you want in normal packages (.deb). The only thing I see that snaps are good for is third party commercial software. For that it's a relatively decent solution, because they are system independent and statically link.

Still, look at Steam or Skype... Two very successful third party applications: they provided debs just fine.

If Ubuntu goes snap-for-everything, I'll need to go back to something more sane.
