But shouldn’t they inform you and let you opt out of the downgrade even if they know something?

Ubuntu at least asks if you want to proceed with a package update, you can look at the changelog to see what the update is about, and you can mark packages to be on hold and skipped for updates.

That was before snap. Now, Ubuntu doesn’t ask you, and just refreshes snaps in the background.

Which is why I have stopped recommending Ubuntu.

That’s fair. But Debian would also let you mark packages, and I imagine other distributions, too.
