I remove snap from Ubuntu. I get everything off the traditional repos.
Have you tried that with Ubuntu 24.04? They have made it more difficult than ever.
Since I was last here, I have installed Joshua Peisach's Noble Cinnamon, and also the flagship, Ubuntu Desktop aka GNOME.
I have cobbled together ways to remove the snaps for Firefox and Thunderbird, remove snapd and the Snap Store, and install .deb versions of Firefox and Thunderbird using apt.
I am putting together a thread I will publish in Wizards Corner over my weekend, and link to it here.
Cheers and
