Btw, about KDE Neon and snap - it seems to me that it still uses snap because chromium is listed as a snap package. I found some reddit comments on the topic of removing snap but it seems to me that it'll just remove snap support from the Discover app, which still leaves a pretty good chance that I'd end up with snap stuff on my system when I don't want it. Does anyone know how to do a more thorough job, and in doing so will that leave me with very little to choose from when installing packages from Ubuntu repositories?

I found this guide:

and I've tried it out on my neon VM. No snap packages installed by default, and removing snapd seemed to work. The chromium snap package is still listed in Muon though, which I guess means that whenever I go to install a package I'll need to check whether the version supplied in the default repository is a snap?
