Snaps are awful. Even simple programs like 'calculator' take multiple seconds to start. I'm planning to bail on Ubuntu soon as well.

- dspillett 3y agoSounds like they worked too hard on making things feel safe and familiar to Windows users who might want to migrate.
- midoridensha 3y agoAh yes, the mythical Windows user who's finally ready to switch to Linux now after all these decades.
- convery 3y agoSurely this year is the year of the Linux desktop.. surely..
- dspillett 3y agoYou do make a correct point, but it doesn't seem that you realise that you were responding to something that was far more snarky joke about the quality of Windows than serious idea of people switching or not based on calculator performance.
- Spivak 3y agoI cannot understand why they did the weird squashfs thing that murders their first start performance over sacrificing a little disk space. It's such an odd technical choice that makes snap look bad for a few megs.
- whoknowswhat11 3y agoNo kidding, especially for programs that aren’t that big.
