Between VLC, Snap and Ubuntu I'm seriously considering installing Windows - last time I did was Windows 98. Given up trying to compile VLC thanks to usual the usual python mess (ImportError: No module named 'nasm') VLC don't bother distributing debs any more, just these shit snaps. In years gone by distributions used to do a good job of keeping systems healthy. They no longer seem to care about the old way of doing that though, things like debs and make just aren't cool any more. Instead you have 160 different package managers all fighting each other, which you then install to update your build environment to install another package manager to build a new build system to eventually dig down to generate some shitty python crap which runs a gcc command.
