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 ! πŸ˜… 😍 πŸ‘‘

The New app store is beautiful πŸ™Œ

(just sharing my experience πŸ˜… )

I still want to be able to choose whether or not to use snaps. I don’t care how friendly they get.

I understand the sentiment. That said, you're forced to use deb files from Ubuntu's repositories. 🫠 There are some fundamental choices that are made for you by the OS developers. Sometimes you have more leeway, sometimes less. It's not the first time and this isn't the only system component people have complained about. Ultimately if a user disagrees with a choice that the OS developer has made about a system upon which the OS developer depends to ship a working system, it's probably wiser to switch OSes than fuck around with the system.
