Lol, I'd rather have AUR malware than Snap packages. You do you, friend. All the arch based distros are fine, only the AUR is affected, so unless someone goes out of their way to use the AUR they're golden.

I partially chose Linux Mint to skip the whole snap nonsense. I seriously don't get how it's been so accepted in various distros.

For the casual user, they Just Work™. The famous ones like Stean, at least (I tried it sometime ago, it's better than the flatpak version nowadays). If you never change your cursor, never check out your partitions, etc. snap's problems aren't as visible

Kubuntu minimal install doesn't have snaps.
