I just tried to upgrade Ubuntu and I suddenly see that new packages want to be installed; snapd and firefox. I don’t need Firefox because I’m already using Firefox-ESR as a deb and I certainly don’t need snaps.

Why is Ubuntu doing this? I get it you like snaps but I don’t, so don’t try to force install it. I had to use apt-mark hold to block the install of snapd and firefox. This is also not an isolated incident. I just checked Reddit and someone made a thread 8 hours back regarding the same issue.

This thing is giving me Microsoft vibes.

    Perfect for servers, best there is.

    It’s Ubuntu server minimal without snaps and their ubuntu-cloud, that’s it.

    I think they use network manager instead of net plan too, but I think you can switch.

    Just solid as all f*. My hypervisor is debian, freebsd and other debian running the apps underneath.
