another "snap bad" post

https://lemmy.zip/post/51140263

I just don’t see the point of them when there are flatpaks. I’m not super knowledgeable on Snaps so maybe there’s some huge benefit I don’t know about, but they always just seemed like a worse version of flatpak to me.

I don’t see the point of flatpaks when there are appimages.

Anyway last I heard snap has terminal/server apps and more system interaction.

What I like about flatpaks over appimages is that they will get updated, be included in the application list, and not live inside my Downloads Directory
Also deduplication is nice
You might like that snaps can update themselves.
I have been using an app called gear lever to manage my app images and I am very happy.
