Hello, I am not using snap ever, and it is taking up room needlessly. Is there a safe way to completely remove snap and all its 'associate' loops?
Thank you! :-)
How to remove /Snap ?
elfprince https://discuss.getsol.us/d/4821-correctly-remove-the-dev-loop0-squashfs-created-by-snap/9 here is something that might help you . I don't use it myself so good luck.
I remember this post:
https://discuss.getsol.us/d/4840-removing-a-snapd-from-system
note warning from kyrios at bottom of page.
Is snapd part of Solus original installation? Why not remove it?
My boot is slow and I thought this had something to do with it
so I went looking for answers on a thread and can confirm what laky said: it is part of the install. And it was a team member that said it, but I can't remember which team member, I just remember it sounded official! That's why I backed off that plan to remove it.
elfprince yes, for now. I've mostly abided by the stated stances and preferences of the solus distro...these pages are invaluable to know these things for sure.
However, if, in those 2 success (I think) stories linked above, if the OP's came back with a followup, I may be convinced to try it.
I'd love to know if someone had regrets, or boot or performance improved or had no difference, or would have done something different, or new problems noticed that come up as a result of removal? I would definitely need to know a lot more.

Look a tutorial that I made (brent, big thanks for mention!).
I remove a snapd from my system and don't have any issues.

Yep, snapd is a part of Solus by default. Why not remove it? Because from snap you can install some software that missing in Solus repo.
And... you can remove it, by the way. That's not so intuitive as should be, but you can do it.
