Comment 5 for bug 1730159

If someone has no snaps installed when they shut down a system, are they expected to have the same amount of snaps (0) on the next startup?

One thing that could be explored, if possible, is to not start the snapd daemon at all on boots after that (disabling the service) and if snaps are installed it could be re-enabled.

It could make boot time slightly faster, although I'm unsure by how much.
