    I’ve been specifically avoiding Ubuntu because of snaps, instead preferring Ubuntu derivatives that don’t use it, like Mint and Pop.

    And more recently, trying an entirely different approach with Arch.

    And yes - I could get rid of snaps in Ubuntu if I wanted. But everything is just a little more annoying when you are going against the conventions of your distro.

        I could.

        Though I suppose it may be semantically more appropriate to say that Ubuntu is Debian with snaps (and with a bunch of other stuff too)

          Linux Mint is Debian with snaps without snaps!
          (I am now going to take this opportunity to point you all towards Linux Mint DE (Debian Edition))

          Thank you! It always irritates me when someone does say Debian is Ubuntu but without XYZ… No, Debian was first. Ubuntu is a Debian child that got molded into something that no Linux should ever be…

    It’s fine Snap, I didn’t need to be able to set a default browser or connect it to other programs anyways ☺️

    I just don’t see the point of them when there are flatpaks. I’m not super knowledgeable on Snaps so maybe there’s some huge benefit I don’t know about, but they always just seemed like a worse version of flatpak to me.

      I don’t see the point of flatpaks when there are appimages.

      Anyway last I heard snap has terminal/server apps and more system interaction.

        What I like about flatpaks over appimages is that they will get updated, be included in the application list, and not live inside my Downloads Directory
