Can you opt out of snap on Ubuntu? I've heard some system and essential apps use it, so it might break stuff if you do

If you're basically recreating Linux Mint from scratch, yes.

Linux can be heavily modified, and removing Snap from Ubuntu is no exception. But it's an involved process.

Can you opt out of snap on Ubuntu?

For now. I'm 100% convinced Ubuntu will move to a fully Snap model leading up to 26.04, basically making Ubuntu Core the mainstream version.

And you will have to install many widely used apps like Firefox manually via a PPA or compiling from source.
