Depends on what you consider “working”, having my calculator and browser load for a minute or two before being able to do anyting and being unable to keep a specific software version as long as I need to doesn’t really work for me.
You can only lock them for a while last tine I checked, can’t you?
I’ve needed an old GIMP version before for a project I was working on. I wasn’t using Ubuntu at the time, but would’ve been pretty screwed if it just updated itself after X months.
I’m specifically talking about Snaps, I have no issues with native packages and controlling them. The problem is, since apt has become a wrapper for snap in Ubuntu, I can’t even really tell what’s being installed anymore.

Never had those problems! I’ve locked certain software versions before. But, every user has different needs. :)

Did they fix the Snap startup time, finally?
There are different ways of holding back packages: with dpkg, apt, dselect, aptitude or Synaptic. Lots of options.

I don’t often use Snaps, so I dk. Regardless, KDE bugs are my biggest slow down lmao.
