The most annoying thing for me was the huge internet data usage by snap updates but it is better now.

Even though it showed 300mb for a Firefox update, but only consumed 80mb and everything updated and working wonderfully ! ๐Ÿ˜… ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ‘‘

The New app store is beautiful ๐Ÿ™Œ

(just sharing my experience ๐Ÿ˜… )

That said, you're forced to use deb files from Ubuntu's repositories. ๐Ÿซ 

Well, they probably compile everything from source after doing a full security audit of the code, right? ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿซ

As much as the snap packaged code. Line by line audits with formal proofs. ๐Ÿซ 

This fascination with snap being somehow fundamentally different from the deb repos situation is weird.
