Re:Ubuntu 20.04 LTS’ snap obsession has snapped me off of it

I came here to make basically this comment.
I install everything via CLI and pretty explicitly always avoid the GUI they have for installing software. It's never been good, ever.
I'm on 20.04 and I think it's a fantastic release, head and shoulders better than 18.04.
The only thing in the author's list that I really take issue with is installing a snap when a user attempted to install from a .deb file. That sort of shit is antithetical to linux, and if it continues to get worse would actually be a reason for me to leave Ubuntu.

But everything else is just a non-issue to me.
