I’m specifically talking about Snaps, I have no issues with native packages and controlling them. The problem is, since apt has become a wrapper for snap in Ubuntu, I can’t even really tell what’s being installed anymore.
If you have some weird requirements about holding back packages and startup times that doesn’t work with snaps but you insist on using ubuntu rather than every other distro that doesn’t use snap… But at the same time say linux as a whole doesn’t work for you but windows is better then you are being completely disingenuous.
There are different ways of holding back packages: with dpkg, apt, dselect, aptitude or Synaptic. Lots of options.

I don’t often use Snaps, so I dk. Regardless, KDE bugs are my biggest slow down lmao.
