I don't understand the whole Snap thing. Not a single snap has ever worked in any of my computers in the past 5 years (I've tried maybe 5 or 6), and they always say they'll add themselves to the system. Add where? Where are these beasts hiding?
- pletnes 8y agoI just «snap install pycharm» and it shows up ready for work. Never had an issue with a snap. Can’t recall where it’s stored, but that’s easy to determine with «which». This is on ubuntu 1{6,8}.04 fwiw.
- fiatjaf 8y agoOh, I was talking about AppImage, not Snap. Sorry. I actually tried the Snap thing too, I don't remember how it went but I would say it was bad. I think I couldn't find a way to search for packages from the CLI.
- pletnes 8y agoSnap search?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoIf you're speaking of AppImage, what do you mean by "where are they hiding"? AppImages are quite literally exactly where you put them and nowhere else.
- fiatjaf 8y agoSo why do they ask me to allow them to add themselves to the system?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoProbably that was appimaged, the daemon that handles some convenience things like menu integration and attempting (but usually failing) to show appimage files with icons. appimaged is entirely optional.
