Bug description:
  Ubuntu 18.04 includes the calculator as a snap.

  The standard installation of snap, with no custom snap apps installed
  other than what Ubuntu installs by default, takes a whooping 1.6GB of
  hard disk. Calc takes forever to start in a modern machine compared to
  the normal calc installed with APT, creates snap files in the user's
  home dir (with name $HOME/snap). This is ridiculous.

  Snap is immature, there's no sysadmin tool support, and it's not ready
  to make it the default for standard Ubuntu LTS.
