> It takes way too much space

Snap packages are by a *significant amount* smaller than their deb
packaged equivalent, they are shipped as highly compressed read-only
squashfs files that do not get unpacked but loop mounted on the host.
typically a snap only uses about 30% of disk-space compared to the same
amount of files/software shipped as deb packages. i'm not sure who came
up with the claim that snaps are bigger, but this is definitely a
completely wrong accusation.
