Holy fuck. I hope KDE snaps aren't going to be mandatory. I just reinstalled Kubuntu to erase Windows from my PC and I've had quite a hard time working around snaps.
I regret not installing Debian as I said I would but changed my mind last minute thinking it wouldn't be so bad...

You can as of yet still disable Snaps entirely on *buntu and enable Flatpak instead. I doubt you'll be getting them as regular .deb packages for long still though...

Sure. But when packages become exclusively available as Snaps, that's just asking for users to dump the distro for something else.
Why would we need to turn KDE packages into Snaps????? That'll slow down the whole startup process because Snaps are stored compressed and will need to be decompressed before launch. And why have your whole DE in a sandbox????? That doesn't make any sense to me. Unless they're talking about only the applications. But even then that's too much.
