I’ve also heard that not many people like Ubuntu because of snaps, why is that?
Well, people don’t like snaps for a number of reasons, because they are forced on users, bloated and slow, Canonicals themselves are quite shady, systemd, etc.
I would rather use several different types of packages than trust one that is tied to a shady company.
You can even not use DE, some people use only Window Managers (with additional things), or even just terminal.
