I have not! I’ll have to look into it. I appreciate the suggestion. I thought Mint also had snaps stripped out. I don’t exactly love snaps, but they can also be kind of nice from a user experience perspective. I’d prefer if Ubuntu used Flatpaks instead, but beggars can’t be choosers.

this! i prefer flatpak but for some apps the sandboxing fucks up things, having snaps or native packages available if you want to have them isn't the worst thing
