You can cleanup Ubuntu from snaps: https://www.kevin-custer.com/blog/disabling-snaps-in-ubuntu-...

However, Canonical pushes snaps via deb packages (e.g. Chromium).

The best option is the use an Ubuntu-based distro, like PopOS or Linux Mint or Elementary OS.

Or KDE Neon, which is by far the best distro I've used in 20 years of messing around with Linux.

I wish they would have based it directly on Debian instead of Ubuntu, but I just stay away from Snaps and get on with my life.
