Tbh, the meme isn’t wrong. If you strongly dislike snaps, get a different distro.
That’s the cool thing about Linux based systems: There are enough for everyone and you can customize them any way you want. Just get something that fits your taste.
Work laptop comes with Ubuntu. Don’t ask me why.
Why?
Something something “worse is better” or something.
Ubuntu didn’t have snaps when I installed this system …
Bruh, more like I was already using Ubuntu, and then they uninstalled my firefox and replaced it with a snap.
Thissss
I’ve been on Ubuntu 14.04 until mid this year and now I have a new build with 22.04.
I was cool to have an updated Chromium via snap on 14.04, but it’s bullshit that the latest LTS release relies on snaps for FF.
I made sure to remove that shitty ass version and I installed FF the classic way.
Just install debian or mint
Mint, maybe. Debian, I’ve tried it twice before and it’s just not user-friendly enough for me.
Well true. I had to install flatpak and setup steam working, but since then I don’t see why it shouldn’t be like Ubuntu or Mint.
Well I am already very deep into Linux and it’s quirks. So maybe I am having a biased view

You think? :p
(Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
The possibility exists ;)
I will never understand this controversial stupidity, why people can not use what they want and this without having “prejudice”?
The thing about Ubuntu and snaps is that they are pushing it and “forcing” its users to use it.
You can uninstall it using
sudo apt remove snapdbut if you then try to install eg. firefox usingsudo apt install firefox— voilà! — snapd is back.
