yesterday I finally decided to investigate why gnome-calculator was so slow at starting up in my ubuntu-based xfce desktop. It's a snap. instead of just launching a stupid binary (it's a f-ing calculator for christ's sake) somebody decided it was better to use a snap, mount a filesystem, add a cgroup and everything. For me that was the last straw: I eradicated all the snaps in my system, uninstalled snapd and everything gnome-related that I could. Jesus christ. Again, it's a f-cking calculator. I don't need a snap for that. That's what get people hating snaps. For the record, I'm now using xcalc. It's less pretty but it starts IMMEDIATELY.
