I'm using an NVMe drive, but I don't understand what all these dev/loops- partitions are. Should I do something about it, or is this perfectly normal?

These are from snap packages. You have several of your packages installed using snap (which happens by default in ubuntu 18.04). This is normal and aside from removing those packages and installing them without snap you can't (or at least shouldn't) do anything against them.
Update: To clarify in regard to your question in comment, these are not exactly partitions but files that contain a filesystem inside and that are mounted to the respective location. That way the package creator can package up a whole application in a single file but the OS using the application can access all the files as it normally would. The concept used here are so called loop mounts.

Thank you for your answer. Maybe I should check out how snaps work because I find it a bit strange how it would create a partition for a program. Maybe its a way of virtualization? Will do some research now, but thanks again
