Linux

On a less philosophical note, I find it immensely annoying how Snap creates mounts for its apps bc of how it clutters up disk management tools

Mostly it has to do with how Canonical owns the snap store. if they made it so anyone could build a snap repo then a lot fewer peopl would have problems

Some of the things that have already been mentioned are true also for me, especially around permissions and assumptions about my system's setup. However what really did it for me was when Firefox stopped recognizing my keyboard after a snap refresh. It's just as if no input device was there for FF anymore. I found reports of the issue, but no solution. In the end I installed from a DEB repository and went through the shenanigans to prevent snap from reinstalling it.

Because people still believe in one standard to rule them all.

its a scam.

there was this jerk working as an intern at red hat. lennart. he made the decision to break the linux dogma: do one thing and do it good. systemd was born. red hat drools. an important step towarda ending open-ness. later snaps. later closing red hat stream. profit.

if you use systemd or snaps you could just fast forward and use apple.

Because I can't dismiss the Firefox update notification, no matter how many times I update it.

I've had to reboot every time.

Which, way to go you've reimplemented windows xp era updates.
