Lol imagine a canonical employee using nixos
I use nix like the AUR for debian.
I think most snap haters mostly hate, that Canonical forces snap upon them, an wouldn't hate so much about it if they had the choice.
Yeah typing "apt install firefox" and getting the Snap version does loudly and obnoxiously disqualify Ubuntu from any devices owned by me or my family.
Thanks to snap I switched to arch. It gave a linux beginner so much drive to learn the terminal and install a harder os lol. The firefox snap was the worst shit.
Yeah, who'd hate using a package manager that increasingly slows down your boot time with every package installed, or that uses a closed source store to provide you FOSS
Maybe there's a reason canonical has to force it on their users
I also hate that it creates a loopback device for every installed snap
There's a lot I dislike about snap. This is the thing I hate.
People using Linux should take their heads out of their asses sometimes and just let people enjoy things they way they prefer.
Fuckin preach it friend!
That's the joy of Linux, the "have it your way" approach to an OS
yeah well, you can't have it your way on Ubuntu when Canonical FORCES you to use snaps (heck they even hacked apt to prefer snaps instead of debs)
You're still missing the point.
and what point would that be? That you can't have it your way, actually?
No, that some people's way involves using snap, and that's fine.
