   Yes, you are correct; snapd is installed in the live default.   
      
   The default Discover Settings shows flatpak checked, firmware updates   
   only linux vendor firmware service checked, snap appears to be 'checked'   
   but it is not blue color check like flatpak and the KDE Neon repo/s   
   which are also designated default.   
      
   I'm not sure I completely understand how to interpret the Discover   
   settings graphical 'meaning'.   
      
   The Discover 'treatment' of options for flatpak are distinctly different   
   from its graphical treatment of snap, firmware updates, and kde neon   
   repo/s.  Not only does flatpak have a function to make default and add   
   source, but it also has a trashcan to remove it.   
      
   I don't see a function in Discover to remove snap; so apparently   
   Discover handles its Snap function differently than it does its flatpak   
   function.   
      
   Puzzling.
