    Snap is definitely what got me looking around again. I was content with Ubuntu’s ubiquity and support for a pretty long time. Ironically, after switching to Bazzite everything seems much much snappier.

      Yeah, with bazzite, kinoite, silverblue etc flatpak was always part of the equation. We opt into it. Canonical with snaps violated consent. They showed up and that was that. You got no choice. Had Canonical created a sub distro built on and testing these. There would have been a lot less ire. Instead like these new rust core utils. Everyone is an unpaid beta tester.

        Yup snap also sucks in my experience. Often times, an app that I used snap to install ends up glitching or not working well with the desktop environment. It used to be fine just using synaptic package manager that even had a GUI. I don’t get why they have to fix what want broken for me
