Another snap failure story:
You install chromium-browser through apt
Chromium gets installed through snap
You go to a PWA to install locally (like M$ Teams)
The desktop entry is saved with a path hardcoded to /snap/chromium/1234/... (1234 is the id)
You update chromium, either intentionally or automatically, the ID changes
Now you can't access your PWA anymore unless you edit the desktop entry and change the id or replace it with `current`.
Such horrible user experience for no positive gain. And this is not a Linux problem, but an Ubuntu problem. Yet there is no difference in the eyes of people because "it's their Linux that broke...".
Bad user experience, bad implementation, bad decisions, and bad reputation to the wrong target, just because Canonical's Ubuntu is the "default" Linux.
