Linux Mint or de-snapped Kubuntu.

Hi there. I just installed Kubuntu on a spare machine, but I ran into a problem with the snaps. How would one "de-snap" it? Can you point me in the right direction?

  • Remove Snap packages
snap remove <package-name>

(To check snap PKG installed, run

snap list

)

  • Uninstall Snapd
sudo apt purge snapd
  • Remove leftover files
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/snapd/

and/snap`.

  • Optionally install Flatpak if you want an alternative.
sudo apt install flatpak

. Don't forget to visit flathub.
