Linux - Remove Snap

Linux - Remove Snap

This is more of personal preference as I don’t like the performance of snap, and most applications I need can be found in flatpak/flathub.

Remove currently installed snap packages (user-input required, as wildcard won’t work and will throw errors):

1
2
snap list
sudo snap remove <package-name>
  • Once you’re done removing all packages, remove snap files from apt and halt it from ever being installed as a dependency of another package:
1
2
sudo apt autoremove --purge snapd
sudo apt-mark hold snapd
