Removing snapd from Ubuntu
Raw
snapd.remove.md

Why?

Because Snapd can blow my magic flute, there is just some much wrong with snapd that i COULD write a gist on that. but it would get pretty ranty

Fair enough, so how ?

First of they ship the new versions of Ubuntu server with LXD and some stuff pre-installed. so first make sure they fuck off by running:

sudo snap remove snap-store
sudo snap remove lxd
sudo snap remove core18
sudo snap remove snapd

Persistent bitch has a mount point

On ubuntu 20.04 this cleans itself out when you tell snapd to fuck off. but if you happen to be stuck on 19.04 just go on...

df | grep snap

Output ends with some numbers (eg: 8542), write them down.

sudo umount /snap/core/xxxx

Goodbyes are forever

sudo apt purge snapd
