Ubuntu 20.04 LTS’ snap obsession has snapped me off of it
Snap sucks. The way open source is straying further and further from its principles is highly annoying. The whole idea that you&#x27;d need a container like environment to install an application on a Unix system is very far from where we should be. What&#x27;s the point of dynamic linking if we then end up shipping half an OS with an application just to get around dependency hell? Might as well ship a pre-linked binary that just does system calls.<p>And it&#x27;s yet another way to do an end run around repositories, instead you will sooner or later get an app-store like environment that can be controlled by some entity. These large companies should stop fucking around with Linux, it was fine the way it was. Just fix the bugs and leave the rest to the application developers.
