I've had a number of problems with snaps.
For one multiple problems with linux containers due to lxd now being a snap package, which auto updates, restarts and sometimes doesn't like switching networks.
Apps that needed mounts that weren't there.
I mainly use nix packages now for ease of installation, removal, updates and for nix shell.
Need to run a shell with ffmpeg?
`nix-shell --run bash -p ffmpeg`
And ffmpeg is gone after the shell terminates.
