On NB 12.4 copying it to this location worked:
~/snap/netbeans/common/data/12.4/etc/netbeans.conf
But since NB 13 it seems to not use the "common" folder, and use a non
semVer versioning for folders

Here, 58 = NB 13
So my current working editable netbeans.conf is
~/snap/netbeans/58/etc/netbeans.conf
(~/snap/netbeans/current/etc/netbeans.conf)
Hope this helps the OP. It's A little hard to get right, but worth it
to set stuff like the JDK and IDE font size (--fontsize 13 in
|netbeans_default_options|)

I took the sage advice of several of the responders to this

snap directory in my home directory.
I'm curious, what went wrong there? Have you followed my
instructions or the one on Stackoverflow (that one is outdated and
does not work on NetBeans 13)?
I'd not recommend this desktop file workaround to anyone. The file
would need to be updated every release.
To get netbeans to use the newly installed JDK when invoked from
the KDE menu, I edited the netbeans_netbeans.desktop file in
/var/lib/snapd/desktop/application to add the --jdkhome parm as
shown below.
Thanks to everyone who responded to this issue. I guess I will
have to educate myself on snap.
