I'm not completely familiar but I get the sense that building a snap package isn't that much of a hurdle if there's such a big need for a renamed fork.

- CydeWeys 7y agoI haven't had great experiences with Snap packages, to be honest. And the fact that they use their own sandboxed filesystem is really inconvenient for an image editing app. I probably won't be installing any more Snap packages.
- gnusty_gnurc 7y agoOk...then flatpak or appimage...there's a clear omnipresent issue here where people argue over petty issues that fragment and polarize the software ecosystem and it's only worse that resources are heavily constrained and voluntary. I don't mean this to discount your concern, but you're making a strong ask from a community that's based completely on loosely-coordinated voluntary efforts. If you want change - advocacy is not enough and frankly counterproductive. Start solving your problem and paying it forward to the people that you think will benefit.
