Don't forget that Ubuntu is moving into same OUR_USERS_ARE_IDIOTS model. Obligatory reminder: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/disabling-automatic-refresh-for... Avoid Ubuntu at all cost or you're just going to step from frying pan into fire.

Debian is a great distro that works, does what it is told.

Flatpaks work perfectly fine on Ubuntu, just remove the snaps and you'll be fine.

```flatpak permission-set flatpak updates $APPID no```
