Could someone ELI5 whats wrong with snaps? I see hate for them all over the place but as an end user with little technical knowledge of linux packaging they seem fine? I can install them and use them, they don’t appear to have any anti-FOSS gotchas, so whats the big deal?

there was a time when they were slow, but that’s mostly been resolved.

but it’s really just a cult thing now. people hate snaps because they think they’re supposed to hate snaps.

I hate snaps mainly because the server is proprietary. Everything else wrong is negotiable or solvanle, but that’s a nonstarter.
