Which snaps are loading that slow? Granted I'm using AppImage or binaries for so much stuff these days, from Firefox to Openshot to Crystal, but I'm really curious.
One of my machines runs 22.04 and has tons of software installed via repos, so some huge chunk of that experience must be slow, or painful, I think I'm to believe? Yet I'm not noticing anything out of the ordinary compared to my other distros.
What are you seeing? Specific examples?
I’m on fedora now and love it.
This is also with the distro installed with all default choices. If memory serves me right, using btrfs for one can result in any number of weird performance issues.
My first awareness of snaps came when I tried to load the calculator app in 18.04 I think. I couldn't understand why it took so long for such a simple app to start. I thought there was a serious problem on my machine.
After spending some hours, I realised this was due to snap.
EDIT: I now regard snap as a serious problem on my machine!
