Same here. What especially irritated me was that even though I installed the .deb firefox and followed the directions to disable snap firefox, occasionally Ubuntu went ahead and reinstalled snap firefox for me.
Ubuntu was great, until Unity debacle, when I switched to Mint DE. Few years later I returned to an Unity free Ubuntu just to be welcomed with snaps and Ubuntu pro.
When I first returned to Linux several years ago I started with Ubuntu, since it was the only distro I had used. I got confused when I installed Firefox and other apps via apt but instead got snap versions. This (very miniscule) gripe is enough of a reason for me to not recommend Ubuntu to new users anymore.
This is why I switched from Ubuntu to Debian.

debian is the best
For me it was when I was trying to use some Android tools and it tried to install the snap version. The snap version was broken of course.

Ubuntu is dead on the desktop.
installs Firefox LSR
(I am still very happy having made the switch to debian, although I would like to switch to plasma 6 at some point xD)
How has your experience been so far?
