Forcing snap.

• pbhjpbhj 4y ago
  Not just that but forcing Firefox as a Snap version that was broken for a long time. That's ideology being pushed massively before utility. If they waited until heavy use apps were available as working Snaps then there might not have been as much push back. Though I personally hate the concept too, so ymmv.

  Why is snap supposed to be bad, now?

    I'm unsure what you mean by the use of 'now', it makes it sound like Snap has never been bad, when in reality it has never been good...

    Several seconds to launch a calculator. With all the memory usage and CPU it implies. That's for this kind of stuff we would have laughed of Windows. And please, you don't need to sandbox such a dumb calculator (no offense to the Gnome devs, we need such simple apps). Centralized store with no open source implementation server-side that you can self host. We already have Flatpak for this use case that does not have the previous issue and that we could have standardized on. Didn't need another standard for this. Stuff not ready / broken in several ways with it but still provided by default (Firefox). When you already own your perfectly fine APT package repositories and have a total control on what dependencies you can rely on, you don't need this kind of stuff to provide software on your distro.
