    It also eats your RAM! My VPS has 512MB and I noticed snapd was running all the time and causing my programs to get oom killed

      Wait, are you running Ubuntu on 512? Or do you actually need snap for some reason? Why run Ubuntu as your VPS?

      Sorry, I’m not too knowledgeable. Actually asking.

        Because the providers only have a few options for OSes and I already know the apt names of packages

        I could try Debian, but just uninstalling snap already worked

      It also kills validation. You think you know what’s installed, but you have 4 copies of it and 3 of them have been sploited and you have no clue.

      All that shit - appimage, snaps, containers - they all hide versions and signed manifests from you while still being terrible in other ways.
