The first thing I do on a fresh Ubuntu is to purge away everything related to snap.

I tried PopOS at one point, to see what it was about. And, I honestly don't understand what it adds to the table. It felt like many minor things were changed to be different, but overall it had the same things I wanted. After being annoyed for a couple of days, I installed Ubuntu, removed snap, and everything is pleasant again.

That was never a thing on any GNOME distro by default. That has always been an extension
