lets assume that Ubuntu Linux from Canonical is a solid platform. However, snapd is intrusive and still not stable IMO. The implementation of libc as a snap component, and the Firefox Browser as a snap component, are notably onerous. Some linux downstream from Ubuntu remove snapd completely.

JetBrains -- please support installation on Ubuntu minus the snapd system. thanks in advance

I run kubuntu on my home computer with snapd removed and have 0 issues running JetBrain products.

What issue are you having ?

I've installed IntelliJ via Toolbox. Prior to that I did install it using the archive they provide.

Same here. I've got Jetbrain's Toolbox on a Debian system, no snapd, no problems.

I've not used Toolbox that other commenters are mentioning, but there is an unofficial ppa. https://github.com/JonasGroeger/jetbrains-ppa. I used to do basically the same thing, build our own deb packages for use in our org, and the PPA works perfectly.

You can just download the software from their site as an archive with pre-built executables in it and it works just fine on Ubuntu.

Just download it directly from Jetbrains then, this isn't an issue.

Pycharm's archive for instance can be found here https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/other.html
