How can I replace Snap application such as Gnome Calculator with a deb?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
So, thanks to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1575053 I would rather not use Snap packages. The only one that I really use is Calculator but I would like to replace all of them with a deb version. How would I go about it?

A couple of other shortcomings that make the snap apps a downgrade from a UX perspective over their traditional APT counterparts (that were stock in 17.10): 1. They're noticeably slower to launch (even on a 1 year old flagship laptop) 2. They don't adjust to system-wide themeing Hopefully these shortcomings will be resolved soon but until then Eskander's solution is a very nice and easy fix.

This answer is for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. The version 16.04 LTS came with the deb version by default and not the snap version.
The Graphical way
Click on the Ubuntu Software icon and search for gnome-calc:
To verify which is which, click on each one in turn. When you click on the installed version and scroll down you will see:
Note the Snap Store at the bottom
When you click on the second one and scroll down you will see:
Now you can click on Remove button for the snap version to remove it. Similarly click on the Install button to install the deb version. In both cases you will be asked for the password.
The command line way
Open a terminal by entering Ctrl+Alt+T and enter to following to remove the snap version:
sudo snap remove gnome-calculator
and enter the following to install the deb version:
sudo apt install gnome-calculator
You will be prompted for your password. Unlike the graphical method, you will not see any ***** and the cursor will not move when you type your password. This is normal.
Hope this helps

This will remove all snap packages except core and core18 in one command
sudo snap remove `sudo snap list | cut -d " " -f 1 | tail -n 2 | grep -v 'core' | tr 'n' ' '`
To finish purging do like mentioned above:
sudo apt -y purge snapd gnome-software-plugin-snap
I'm assuming you might seen squashfs-tools in another package

Yep not the same, I linked a newer one but same concept. And
core is part of Snapd, which gets deleted along with it– Eskander Bejaoui

This will remove all snap packages except core and core18 in one command
sudo snap remove `sudo snap list | cut -d " " -f 1 | tail -n 2 | grep -v 'core' | tr 'n' ' '`
To finish purging do like mentioned above:
sudo apt -y purge snapd gnome-software-plugin-snap
I'm assuming you might seen squashfs-tools in another package

Can you not uninstall it and then install it via
apt?– M. Becerra

you can just hide the
~/snapfolder following this answer. If you want to stop using the whole Snapd ecosystem you may try my answer down below– Eskander Bejaoui

A couple of other shortcomings that make the snap apps a downgrade from a UX perspective over their traditional APT counterparts (that were stock in 17.10): 1. They're noticeably slower to launch (even on a 1 year old flagship laptop) 2. They don't adjust to system-wide themeing Hopefully these shortcomings will be resolved soon but until then Eskander's solution is a very nice and easy fix.
