    I don’t mind snaps but when even the “software” app, not the snap store downloads from snapcraft or whatever unless you manually change the… and why is even Firefox pre-installed through snap and why is it…

    You know, I think I do mind the snaps.

      You wouldn’t mind them, if they were simply an offering you could choose to use. You do mind them being pushed onto you, no matter how great they might be.

      At least that’s how I feel. On my openSUSE system, I might be annoyed that some app chose to package as Snap, not as something else, but it’s fine, I’ll compile it.
      On my work laptop where Ubuntu is the least bad OS available, I’ll get annoyed at Snaps for the pettiest garbage, a.k.a. the “snap/”-folder in my home-directory. What kind of jackass thought that was ever a good idea?

        I’d completely forgotten how annoying that was. I went on their git and checked, of course there was an issue about that and of course the reply was wontfix.

        At least it’s possible to hide the snap folder through a nautilus config file somewhere.

          I do actually have it hidden from Dolphin (KDE), too. Still annoys when I see it in my shell, and I don’t intend to modify my ls command to hide it from there.
          I guess, I should check, if I still need snapd, and otherwise purge it.

      Like seriously, Linux Bros love to rag on Fedora for having a few noncritical software served by flatpaks, but half of Ubuntu being snaps is just fine?

    i don’t want to just straight up hate on snaps, but they are pretty terrible
