I feel, I can't recommend #Ubuntu anymore.
The fact that they are pushing #Snap is the reason.
One of the reasons is, that Snap gives a bad user experience. Snaps are really slow at startup and sometimes you have to launch them twice before they open, sometimes it just doesn't open at all.
I understand that using Snap is much easier, since you make one package , that runs everywhere, and I'm all for it! #Linux has been needing something like Snap and #Flatpak for a long time and now they are finally here. But pushing a product which doesn't work well is what I don't like about it.
Flatpak works much better and more smoothly than Snap does. Another thing about Snap I think they should be fixing is the centralization around Snapcraft - make it possible for others to set up repositories.
I think many people are having the same opinion, so hopefully (for themselves) #Canonical can learn and change the issues before Snap goes to 0. If they don't, then eventually more apps will come to #Flathub instead of #Snapcraft.
