What a coincidence. Snaps being garbage is the reason I quit using Ubuntu.
If I remove a snap and install a deb package, I should not have to do multiple workarounds to stop it from being replaced with the snap package automatically. The firefox snap doesn't work with a bunch of shit at all.
It's also a coincidence that Linux Mint removes all that shit by default.
I switched to Fedora years ago. Linux mint has been not as good for a long time.
Countering Ubuntu enshittification is an increasingly demanding task. Then there is also the issue that accessing bug fixes for software in the Universe repository that regular Mint inherits from Ubuntu requires Ubuntu Pro.
Same BS doesn't happen with LMDE.
If I'm going Mint, it's gonna be LMDE. I've always been a fan of Debian though.
