Before 22.04 I was able to just uninstall snapd to remove ~/snap, and that was fine.
But now that Firefox is being delivered as only a Snap in 22.04, I'm essentially being strong-armed into using snaps, because Firefox is probably the most critical piece of software on my system and I cannot work without it. Given this new situation, the ~/snap folder has gone from an annoyance that can be fixed by uninstalling snapd, to an intolerable situation that I will literally switch distros over. It makes me irrationally angry to have a piece of low-level systems software that I rarely want to interact with park its junk right in the middle of $HOME, the place where I organize my personal documents. Why not make ~/dconf or ~/pam while we're at it? Please don't make me leave Ubuntu in 22.04 - just move the damn folder to ~/.snap or even better ~/.local/snap already. A forums thread was mentioned earlier in this bug report where the snap maintainers change ~/snap to ~/.snap ... BUT THEN THEY GO ON TO CREATE ~/Snap!
