    Snaps. Snaps are the, and a good reason. Canonical has done a very poor job with them. Whether it was trying to keep control over them, the duplication of work, the performance issues etc. There’s lots of reasons.

    I wouldn’t insult someone for using Ubuntu, like I wouldn’t insult someone for using Manjaro. But I wouldn’t shy away from recommending better distributions when applicable. I think most of us have been through them all over the years. It’s kind of a rite of passage.

      The snap deal is the most “like totally your opinion, man” thing in the world. Snaps run just fine for me, as well as flatpaks and appimages. Everybody wants to feel some way about Ubuntu adding some shiz to their distro that the majority of us don’t even pay for.

      Is it their distro? Yes. Can they add whatever to it? Yeah. Do they need to ask you? No. Does it really change things for you? No.

      Now, you are free to feel however you prefer - this is unquestionable. Your feelings are signal but not data, when it comes to software.
