I’ve been specifically avoiding Ubuntu because of snaps, instead preferring Ubuntu derivatives that don’t use it, like Mint and Pop.
And more recently, trying an entirely different approach with Arch.
And yes - I could get rid of snaps in Ubuntu if I wanted. But everything is just a little more annoying when you are going against the conventions of your distro.
Thank you! It always irritates me when someone does say Debian is Ubuntu but without XYZ… No, Debian was first. Ubuntu is a Debian child that got molded into something that no Linux should ever be…

You could try Debian, it’s basically Ubuntu without snaps.
More like Ubuntu is Debian with snaps and a CEO
I installed Linux Mint Debian Edition yesterday. I like it so far. Lots better than ubuntu.

Linux Mint is Debian with snaps without snaps!
(I am now going to take this opportunity to point you all towards Linux Mint DE (Debian Edition))
switched to Debian from fedora after IBM started sticking their little dick fingers in everything.
Definitely stealing this
It’s made even worse by some software pretending to be Ubuntu builds but just quietly installing a Snap version instead.
Looking at you, Firefox. 👀
Switched to EndeavourOS a couple of years ago as my main, and its been amazing. No regrets.
I love pop, just so you know 🙂
It’s called soda.
They could be talking about bubble wrap to be fair
