I don't use snap for anything, and always uninstall snapd.
On the servers that I upgraded to 20.04, all is good.

On my laptop though, there was Chromium (which is a backup browser),
and using a PPA, it is now installed as a .deb from a repo.

But these remain:

/dev/loop1  128K  128K     0 100% /snap/bare/5
/dev/loop2   66M    66M     0 100% /snap/gtk-common-themes/1519
/dev/loop3  165M  165M    0 100% /snap/gnome-3-28-1804/161
/dev/loop4   56M    56M     0 100% /snap/core18/2253
/dev/loop5   44M    44M     0 100% /snap/snapd/14295

The ones that I am hesitant to remove are the gtk-common themes, and gnome.

The laptop runs Xubuntu, so I am not using Gnome directly, but there
is a lot of stuff that uses GTK.

Any issues with removing those two packages?
