Snap is why I will never use or recommend pure Ubuntu to anyone.

While we asked the system to install the native package, what we actually receive is the snap. The user is given no choice, no warning. If they weren’t paying close enough attention, they wouldn’t even realize what happened. At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, this is subversion.

If it was just snap I could get over it but... Canonical has a long history of doing nonsense that goes against the rest of the ecosystem as if they're Microsoft and they can just get away with it.

Well they did team up with MS to help them with WSL so they probably share some corporate ideals
