        The snap store is a shit show of security issues.

        Forced migration to snaps.

        Performance issues.

        Proprietary back end.

        Slow to install

        Slow to start

        Eat up RAM

        Eat up disk space

        They screw up access to devices.

        They automatically update themselves without user confirmation.

        Fuck snaps. Fuck Canonical.

        • The server software is closed source and centralized
        • They create many block devices that can slow down booting the PC.
