Greetings I would suggest that you stay as far as you can form snapd! I spent about 8 months working on/with it and in the end was totally frustrated. After you install snapd - - - - -well canonical will upgrade anything AND everything on its schedule. You CANNOT change that! The longest file in the forum is individuals asking for an off switch for updates. You can push it to about 60 days with some serious tap dancing. I tried ALL the options giving to stop the triggered updates - - - my machine responded by shutting down. So I didn't get the updates but the machine would shut itself off when it was time for upgrades. Then I tried to remove the shebang! I tried using $rm -r and still had 'crap' hanging around. Got real frustrated with that. Left the mess for about a year and then when I tried to restart the machine I couldn't get a complete reboot (even using secure boot for repair). So I was forced to replace the complete system - - - - a right royal pita. The idea is good (lxd) but snapd - - - - that's toxic!
