Ubuntu and Snaps

For a casual use, Snaps seem good. Once it gets regular updates, it becomes obvious that it needs maintenance too.

Unlike the .deb packages, these things keep on installing all the dependent packages along with the update.

The main reason I dig into this is for slowness I found while using Snap for all the things. Sublime, VS Code and Chromium, VLC etc; all these I was running at the same time.

First I thought it was something else, but once I started using the .deb apps, it seemed obvious that the reason is Snap apps.

Now all my apps are either .deb or .AppImage and this seems working fine till now. If there is an official package available, I use it from apt or else .deb and .AppImage. Got these Snap apps out.

Not very sure why Ubuntu is insisting on Snap apps!
