NOTE: Removing snapd may impact the operation of Ubuntu Pro.
I don't currently use snaps, and have had to work hard at avoiding them [1]. So far the effort has been worth it, because Ubuntu has continued to provide a stable desktop Linux system that is compatible with a broad range of modern hardware.
Getting rid of snaps in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is basically a 4 step process:
$ sudo snap remove --purge firefox
