Hmmm, can we just sticky a “snaps are bad” thread? I like to see activity but this same question keeps getting asked.

Also sticky Red Hat’s “response”, it should deter most of the neolibs.

because the snap folder in your home directory by default starts with a lowercase letter while all the other folders start with uppercase (hidden folders don’t count)

all other reasons are secondary

On a less philosophical note, I find it immensely annoying how Snap creates mounts for its apps bc of how it clutters up disk management tools

its a scam.

there was this jerk working as an intern at red hat. lennart. he made the decision to break the linux dogma: do one thing and do it good. systemd was born. red hat drools. an important step towarda ending open-ness. later snaps. later closing red hat stream. profit.

if you use systemd or snaps you could just fast forward and use apple.

Because people still believe in one standard to rule them all.
