I have done the 22.04 -> 24.04, but honestly I can't think of doing the same for 26.04.01. Maybe on 26.04.02.

Ubuntu 26 puts a shim in between the actual apt get, and Canonical puts itself in the middle.

It's bullshit.

I've used Ubuntu for a really long time (like 2014-now), but my next move is away from anything snap/Canonical based.

It's pretty simple.

Canonical is the Microsoft of the Linux community.

p.s. Nice bot

You do realize 24.04 and 22.04 also had snap? Even 20.04, that's when the Firefox snap became a thing. Also snapd has been shipping with Ubuntu since 16.04 if I recall correctly. The truth is, you've been using snap until now without even knowing, now you care just because someone on reddit told you to care because "snap bad" with no logical reason.

Yeah, and I have used none of it.

Neither had the intermediary between apt-get, and I didn't use either.

24.04 is probably my last. I'm not going to go nuts with Arch, but Debian (old, stable, etc.) is probably in my future.

This truth is...

The truth is you really want to rant, and that's fine...but tell it to someone else. I've purged every system I have of snap.

Have fun when you download the MicroSlop Linux Edition.
