It's easy to use unless you NEED the non-snap version of a package.
So I wanted to install GrapheneOS on my pixel. I booted into Ubuntu and the USB connecting to my pixel just didn't work
Turns out, snap is at fault. Guess what, there's no easy way to just say "give me the non-snap package"
Same experience for me.
Recently I booted the Live CD to test something, downloaded Steam via the Ubuntu App Store and that Snap garbage wouldn't even launch, meanwhile the Steam.deb worked perfectly fine on the same environment. Imagine getting that as your first experience with Linux.....
