“Canonical only having snap releases was harmful to adoption. I liked using lxd, but uninstalled snapd (forgetting lxd used it), and my vms obviously stopped. Snap wouldn’t reinstall properly (various inscrutable errors), so I moved it all over to libvirt. I’d still be happily using lxd if it weren’t for Canonical’s snap-pushing. That’s my anecdote of one.”

(I’m not mkj so…, but I think most users are quite against enforcement of snapd)

    I removed the snap version of firefox as soon as snap started whining it couldn’t update because I was using firefox. And it even seems to start a little faster now that it’s installed through a ppa.
