> We all know which one of these usually results in a broken installation.

And yet they're promoting snap.

Have they given us the ability to stop automatic updates?

It looks like Ubuntu Core lets you disable automatic updates for snaps: https://ubuntu.com/core/docs/refresh-control.

"Refresh control can be accomplished by using a gating snap"

I bet those only come from brand stores.. so $20k/year for an ability to disable updates?

Or the ability to make your own snap store.
