I see people hate snap packaging and removing it if their OS support it. Is it because it’s NOT fully open-source or just due to how the technology works?

Update: fixed typos

      They don’t respect your setting on OS version updates either.

      I was running 22.04 with the firefox ppa, but the minute i shifted from 22.04 lts to 22.10, they reinstalled the firefox snap and a bunch of new ones as well. Ive purged them all again, but it looks like every update will bw this same fight. I ahoulsnt have to write an ansible playbook to fight my OS vendor.

      Debain 12 with flatpac to fill the gaps is looking better and better by the day.

          Wasn’t there an article posted here that the next ubuntu update won’t have deb support at first and it’ll come later? 100% chance they decide to be an immutable snap-based distro in the near future.

        Disrespecting preferences, having to fight the OS… hm, where have I heard that before? 🤔
