Frustrating because the Slack snap is broken so every day you have to downgrade it and I guess you can't without connectivity.
This might be the incentive I need to finally purge snap.
Snap recently got much more polished.
I used to have to find a script to purge excess old snaps that would fill up my hard drive. Now Ubuntu only keeps two versions of each snap.
I was wondering why the script didn't have to ever clean more than one version, even when I took longer between running updates.
Just move to flatpak, much nicer to deal with
I got rid of both and my system is much better for it. The only thing I still use that is distributed in such a format is AppImage, and mainly because it has never given me trouble.
In my testing I find the exact reverse. I much prefer snap to flatpak.

Both fail hard for so many things. If you need any sort of hardware acceleration, just use an rpm/deb.
