I *hate* #snaps. And all similar package formats along that line.

#Linux #distributions are great *because the packages are made to work together*. That's the absolute basic thing.

Snaps are just some weird BS to try and reduce marginally the packager's burden at the cost of massive usability issues and fundamental #integration problems.

Started experimenting with #canonical #snapcraft + #docker #container mix for a not-necessarily-edge-usecase scenario at work, and honestly I'm kinda surprised how well it works. I mean, I've been using #snaps on #ubuntu for years now (ever since they are the default on the desktop), and even though I'm pro-containerization, I never thought much of them (neither positive nor negative), but it's honestly well documented, and simple to use. Might even revisit and "snapify" some old solutions 🤔

Ubuntu 26.04 Firefox and Thunderbird #snaps are dropping their guts when accessing the Downloads folder even through they have access to it. So bad that it locks the machine up and causes it to reboot. Containerised apps should not have the ability to take a whole machine down, they should be isolated. #ubuntu
