I am creating a new VM instance on the google cloud platform with ubuntu-os-cloud/ubuntu-2004-lts as my boot disk image. I observed that some snap packages are being installed by default including the google-cloud-sdk. Now I use apt for all the package management on the servers and don't necessarily have a problem with snap being present. I have found quite some articles on removing snapd from Ubuntu, but what I wanted to enquire is whether keeping the snap as it is and keep working with apt for my package management will pose any issues.

Yes if you are using snap installed applications removing snap will also remove them.


Snap I gather has become a secondary install method within Ubuntu which is why its been installed by default.


Snap is a lot more flexible than apt which is why its gained in popularity though its not going to replace apt without some major enhancements.
