Really?

Alberto, it's not our fault that Ubuntu are having problems solving it.
Ubuntu created the problem, not us.

They should have got it right from the start, but I guess it was
difficult so they just chose to ignore it instead.

And now they are defaulting apps to snaps that *we can't run* because of
their bugs that they created. Ridiculous.

Fundamentally a duplicate of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1620771 which was opened in
September 2016.

That's 6 years ago, and I guess demonstrates the Ubuntu priorities and
willingness to fix things.

Clearly the rush to foist snaps on people is a higher priority than that
of those who can't install them.
