The thing I hate most about snaps is how they pollute the mount namespace with loop mounts. Install a few apps and 2/3rds of your `mount` output will be /dev/loopX devices. Especially annoying since I often do loop-mounts myself and picking them out from the flood of unrelated snaps is a pain.
If they could somehow hide the mounts (in a different mount namespace maybe?) that would be cool. I mean still, I would prefer more open formats such as flatpack and appimage (since with snaps you buy into the Canonical ecosystem with no way to provide alternative appstores) ......
- hackeraccount 3y agoI think that's why I gravitated to Flatpak instead of Snap. That and maybe the store experience - flathub.org - was better.
- jcrben 3y agoYou can pass a flag to the commands to hide them.

- HumanOstrich 3y agoYou should rewrite everything in Rust too.
- Aerbil313 3y agoNot a bad idea if I could.
