it's reviled because nobody wants to learn yet another deployment tool. apt has been reliable enough for installing packages and good enough UX that people can't be bothered

Nope, it's reviled because of its hostile user experience. Try finding an official, working way to stop automatic snap updates!

Was going to say the same thing. IMO the snap concept would make it worth learning something new for some use cases - but forced automatic snap updates, high memory usage, long startup times and permission issues are not selling it. Moreover, Canonical is well aware of how snap is perceived, and has done diddly squat to fix it.

I am not aware of the high memory usage issues. Also, rhe permissions issue is related to poor packaging, more than anything else.

The only way I got it working was via:

   snap set system proxy.http="http://127.0.0.1:1111"
   snap set system proxy.https="http://127.0.0.1:1111"
I started a thread [0] on the LXD container forum in 2019 due to all the issues with automatic snaps
