Snaps, oh snaps, the bane of Ubuntu. If there is one criticism to be leveraged at Ubuntu, it is their snap packaging system. Much like AppImage and Flatpak, Snaps consist of one single package that is isolated from the rest of the system, and includes all of the dependencies. The problem arises when these snap packages start to take up more space and open slower. So, I, like many Ubuntu users am going to show you how you can remove snapd, and everything related to it.
Do you throw away a perfectly good burger because there is a single ingredient you don’t like, or do you pick it off and enjoy the rest of your amazing meal?
There are, but the default Ubuntu still has the most support. ESM, 5 years of support, and the newest Ubuntu versions as soon as they come. Despite how good some Ubuntu based distro’s are, (I love Pop_OS!, Linux Mint, and others) they will never have the 100% support and help you get by using default Ubuntu.

Why not just use an Ubuntu based distro without snaps installed? I’m sure someone’s made one some where.
