Wait is this true? They can’t be replacing apt with snaps all the way… I’ve been using Ubuntu for a decade plus and this would force me to switch

Yeah they are, just go debian, it's ubuntu before they went full Hodor.

Debian also got a lot quicker with updates. They are not as "oldschool" as they've been a few years ago with the packages being always years behind. They still have the Debian way of thinking (tested > on the edge) but it's months and not years of waiting for new updates to be implemented in their official sources

Could someone explain to me why snap has such a bad reputation?

There are better solutions for everything it does/tries to do:

  • Flatpak for desktop applications
  • docker/podman/LXC/… for server software
  • apt/dnf/pacman/… for system utilities
