OK, the screenshot I originally left was funny but clearly a mistake. Here is a screenshot of the uninstallation with btop showing the goat rodeo that is my machine trying to do it.

I expect an uninstallation process to take a couple of minutes max. What I'm seeing is somewhere between odd and suspicious. It's taking 45 minutes to uninstall Steam, and this is on a machine with an Intel Core i9 14900KF (32 cores), 64GB RAM, and a very fast SSD. BTOP is showing gzip slammed for processing power and snapd taking up a bit. Nearly all cores are idle and it would appear from my untrained eye that gzip is limited to 2 cores which seems to be the root cause of this problem. I see two cores being used significantly: both between 35% and 75% changing with every refresh of btop. I find it hard to imagine this is not a bug given the absurd time it takes to remove an application. Ubuntu 25.04 fully updated Steam latest/stable 1.0.0.83 Expectation: Quick removal of software package from system. What happened: An interminable wait as gzip is doing gawd knows what. It shouldn't be used in a software removal process. This is the suspicious part.
