After reading a lot about snaps / snapd in this forum and people's experience and opinions about them, I decided to get rid of snapd for good.

Fortunately the developers of Kubuntu 20.04 were so kind not to install any snaps by default (unlike in Ubuntu 20.04),

Why hasn't it been removed by purge snapd ?
And is it save to purge libsnapd-glib1 now to get rid of the last remains of snapd ?
Probably not, because of pulseaudio - the only one of the reverse dependents listed above that is actually installed on my system?
Otherwise all seems to have gone well, and my Kubuntu does feel much lighter and less Canonical now! ;-)
