Comment 7 for bug 1965535

+1, I would also strongly prefer that Ubuntu stops adopting snap by default, or at least give users the option to use other deb/apt alternatives. I respect the work done by snap developers, but given its current state breaking XDG standards, forced app updates, and impact on size/performance, I don't believe it's ready for prime time (nor will be anytime soon).

I've been a loyal Ubuntu user for almost 15 years, but this would make me reconsider and switching to another distro. I don't say this as any form of pressure, but to indicate how strongly I feel about this issue. Judging by the size of this other thread [1], I'd venture many other users feel equally about this.
