Will be installing in a week or two. I'm not a fan of snap, and I know Mint doesn't use it (by default, anyway), but I'm used to Xubuntu and will stick with it

Apparently, the upgrade path isn't quite ready yet. If you're installing now, do a fresh install.
- EasyMark 2y agoThey use snap more and more with each release. It's why I switched over to Pop OS. I like flatpak since it's not baked into the distro. I don't mind if sometimes a theme or something doesn't the system one. I'm not one of those types who is "shocked" and "jarred" by gui differences.
- bithead 2y agoI get the idea behind snap, flatpak, and appimage. But what I don't like is: 1.) config file locations end up all over the place depending on which you use. I like taking my .thunderbird data and just dropping it from one system to the next as one example. Snap makes that harder. Likewise for firefox - the snap version is behind as well. 2.) It solves a problem already long since solved in linux systems - package management. You still need APT or what ever the distro is built with. Two systems solving the same problem often seems like one cook too many. Hell even homebrew in macos is a pain.
