I installed jetbrains clion via snap, not realising the implications. I spent a long long time trying to work out why it couldn’t find dev libraries installed via apt. It wasn’t until I attacked the process with truss/strace that I realised the package manager had installed a snap version, and it was horrifically sandboxed. I nuked Ubuntu and installed Arch.

Very good demonstration [for me] of current state Linux-Is-Ready-For-Desktop thing - even those with technical background, who _have_ idea on dev libraries (which I think really are headers with somelib-dev packages), strace/truss (is not truss a BSD thing?), not plain mere mortal person have issues on realizing how it works under the hood and how to make it work in desirable way. Microsoft and Windows are totally safe for now+15 years.
