I sofar have had to manually uninstall everything snapware related and in some cases snaps already started to prohibit my system from booting before I even touched anything. Something I haven't ever encountered in my past 15 years among the Tuxs.


Also manual uninstall always comes with the risk to permanently damage the installation.


I want a clean repo fed library on my server installation and I would hate to be forced to switch distribution for my servers just to be able to ge that without the current hassle.


It is a thing of principles so please spare the questions why I won't accept it:



  1. It does not honour the Linux way of things.

  2. library bloated software does encourage qualitativly subpar coding.


I do honour the work Devs and volunteers put In to the Snap project even tho I wished they would not try to introduce this concept we already seen going havoc in the NT-World into the Linux user environment. But this is only my opinion alone and there might be good reasons for this from someone else's PoV.

Focussing on the crux of the issue ...


Q. Is there an ubuntu minimal or core server iso NOT containing anything snapware related?


Yes. Ubuntu Server versions 4.10 ~ 15.10. That said, none of these releases are supported anymore1.


If the goal is to have a supported and updatable installation of Ubuntu, then one option that you might consider would be to create your own distribution with a tool like Linux Live Kit or Ubuntu Imager. This will allow you to configure an installation to suit your exact needs.





  1. Extended Security Maintenance was available for Ubuntu 14.04 until earlier this month.
