Public bug reported:
when my lubuntu focal box gets heavy into thrashing, snapd sits there
and hangs on to 20mb of resident memory. why so heavy? reminds me of
zfs. wonderful features. but way too heavy. snapd is too heavy for
lubuntu. lubuntu is supposed to work well with not so much ram.
why is snapd even a daemon? i get that it installs and updates chromium
for me. why does it need to be a daemon to do that?
it would be great if snapd gets redesigned to exit the daemon when i
don't need it. which is almost always for me. i could probably do what
i want by killing off snapd, and putting it back when i need to update
chromium. but it ought to take care of all that by itself, and mostly
be out of my hair, by itself.
