You’re going to get a lot of comments about Ubuntu and snaps. Definitely one of the reasons I switched away from it.

For the uninitiated, as someone who’s looking to move from Windows to Linux and Ubuntu is probably my first choice, can you share what’s not to like about this?

Snaps are technically foss but the server thst hosts them are proprietary to Ubuntu, when flatpak is perfectly reasonable. It’s a bit of a pattern of things they do, finding solutions to things they weren’t really problems (cough netplan cough)

You know that snaps existed before Flatpaks right?

So it would have been that much easier for Ubuntu to be first to market and open source the snap server software…

But they didn’t. And alternative solutions had to be created.
