Snap... - sh.itjust.works

Unpopular opinion: snap is not so bad and genuinely useful for many things

I would rather have a snap than building from source or use some tar.gz archive with a sketchy install script

some tar.gz archive with a sketchy install script

I just can’t… like I’m old, but still can’t wrap my head around how we went full circle from “./configure && make & make install scripts are almost the de facto way to install software in linux” to “a sketchy install script”. We’re living interesting times at Linux

yeah idk a multi thousand line configure script seems sketchy to me, like what happened with xz
