I get what Canonical was going for with snaps but wow did they ever ruin Ubuntu's reputation. It used to be the clear choice for anyone who wanted a generic Linux where you don't have to configure everything yourself. Sure some people didn't like Unity but the core distro still worked well and was stable. With snaps, package management has become more complex than other distros while decreasing performance if memory limited (and who isn't nowadays). The number of times I've had something not work in the "stable" snap package is far too many, and it's pretty much always fixed by installing the same package with apt.
I get the reasoning for sandboxing applications, but they needed to wait until it was more stable to make the default. At this rate I doubt we're ever going to get a truly mainstream desktop Linux distro rivaling macos and Windows...
In my opinion, Linux Mint has filled this gap. If anyone asks its a good recommendation to ensure they don't have to jump through hoops to get a stable system out of the gate. Essentially the stability of debian and usability of Ubuntu without snap
Yeah it also created yet another distribution method which is annoying. We have wayy to many in Linux
XKCD 927: Standards
Reminds me to make a new distro that has the one True package manager
Call it OTP just to make the acronym more ambiguous
I liked Unity, but Ubuntu has always been a crashy mess.
What were they going for with snaps? I'm really not trying to be snarky. I genuinely don't understand why my favorite OS that has become more and more stable and usable since I first started using it, has now switched to this crap. I now need to reconfigure snap profiles to make normal usage possible? Wtf!
I need to switch.
