I have a snap installation of nextcloud. It has self updated for years with no problem. The set up took almost no time. Canonical tests the package before releasing it in their OS.
Compared to bare metal and docker installation that were broken every few months and required maintenance, I have been pretty happy with snap.
Based on this, would say snap is not a bad idea. Sure snaps might be slow, but that’s improving.
I don’t have time to tweak applications. Let canonical package and test all dependencies for their platform, secure and update the apps.
- tommica 4y agoThanks for sharing this comment, its nice to read about the positives of snap, and not just the negative. Helps in getting a better idea of it.
- timbit42 4y agoSnaps are available for other distros but I presume Canonical doesn't test their Snaps on all the other distros. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, making Snaps a bad idea.
