Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for a 2019 post on upgrading to Ubuntu 19.10 and swapping snap packages for regular debs. The one comment points to that post as a fix for slow snap-based GNOME Calculator; it does not judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
I've been running it for a while and it's great except it still takes a ridiculous amout of time the time to launch gnome calculator. Ever since they changed it to a 'snap' it's been awful. Edit : It looks to be pretty easy to swap the snaps for regular debs: https://blobfolio.com/2019/10/psa-upgrading-to-ubuntu-eoan-m...
