The snaps bad echo chamber
Snaps bad because proprietary
Pre installed Nvidia good because propriety no wait video games!
Ubuntu's mission was always to build bridges between the user and tech and businesses that the gnu side of Linux wouldn't.
It's a good just works distro that has spawned a ton of just works distros and sane server defaults. I see Ubuntu on the same level as macos.
snaps bad because slow
Are they though? They were at one point, but even then I've not seen comparative slowness compared to the equivalent Flatpaks. In some cases I've seen them be slow compared to native packages, but even that seems to have all but disappeared for me.
Yes. https://duckduckgo.com?q=firefox+snap+slow
That link includes a whole lot of old things as well as blog posts about how they sped up the performance of the Firefox snap, after which there doesn't seem to be much, if any, further evidence of the snap being slow.
