* Ubuntu systems now install and enable snapcraft aka snap by default.  It is a fact that the performance worsens with snaps, so why force the hand by forcing users to use this technology. The packages called snaps, and the tool for using them, snapd are now part of Ubuntu.  The overall user experience with Snaps on Ubuntu is frustrating: several apps won’t start when installed as snaps, others run weird, others take really long time to start.* Starting from Ubuntu 20.04 there are several snap packages that replace the previous binaries and the installation of the new software gives the priority to the Snap system.== Snap Commands ==list all the existing snap packages snap listremove the snap package sudo snap remove <name-of-the-package>remove the snap-store package (you can’t remove the ‘core’ snap package with sudo snap remove core) sudo snap remove snap-store== Uninstall and Remove Snap ==First you have to unmount snap, much as you would unmount a drive.  Use 'df' to find the number ID so you can reference it when you unmount snap.  As an example: to remove and purge the snapd package and all of its related services sudo apt purge snapdto remove all the folder related to snap, if existing sudo rm -rf ~/snap /snap /var/snap /var/lib/snapd
