You make it Seen complicated, which its not.
Use gnome-software and install flatpaks or official apt packages instead of the snap store
No thanks, I like snaps
Genuine question; what is it about them that appeals to you? I used them for a while as a few things on kubuntu defaulted to snap but after a while I kept running into different issues that don’t occur on the flathub/deb counterparts so I’ve cut them out for the most part.
I like Ubuntu and related technologies around it so when I wanted to learn Linux packaging I went for snap. It turned out to be not as hard as I thought, and from my experience they run just fine. And are capable of packaging more types of apps than flatpak.
I think their update model is actually great. People are super hesitant to have apps auto update but its important to push out security updates quickly to minimise damage. It can be easily disabled if you insist on manually updating.
I can confirm the auto updates work. When I push a new version, all devices start using it within days.
I don’t get it. What’s this supposed to tell me?
it’s a parody of the memes where it’s typing commands for 20 minutes to install a web browser
Too many screens and clicks. Where’s my single-click browser install? Linux will never become mainstream on the desktop.
no, it should just know what browser I want. it should read my minds or whatever. do you expect me to take those 5 whole clicks?
