> I don't use Snap on my Ubuntu Desktop systems because I don't like apps secretly updating without my awareness

My experience with Snap is that it bugs me about Firefox updates multiple times a day for two weeks. Okay, it does then update automatically and break the running program, but I can't claim to be unaware.

Apt is the thing that updates packages completely without my awareness, with Unattended Upgrades. Mostly it works, but I have to blacklist NVidia utilities, as they need to be in sync with the driver in use.
