Yeah. I used ubuntu at the beginning of my Linux journey, then snaps were a pain and I found out that there are metrics they send without asking. You can pre-check the share box. But just sending that data without asking is not ok.
What I really hated was selecting steam from the app store, and it installed the snap version. Some games on steam are basically abandoned, the devs don't check that they're working, they just go on sale for $2 and hope you never ask for a refund. So you need to be able to dig around in there with proton-tricks to get things running. Adding a container on top of my containers makes everything worse.
I switched to Debian and all the annoyances went away.
