Some people don't like snaps

"Some people like snaps" would have been closer to the truth, but it would still be an exaggeration of their numbers.

    "A person likes snaps."

    There, all covered and more accurate than the original.

    His mom probably likes them too.

    His dad probably says β€œWTF is this Snap bullshit son? We didn’t raise you like that.”

    Then his mom replies, β€œit’s just a phase, he needs our support, I’m sure you can make snaps happen, sweetie.”

    You know what? I know they're far from the ideal solution, but I have installed a few things with snaps ... and it was fine. It worked seamlessly and painlessly (in some instances).

    Generally, I'd prefer other ways to install, but snaps aren't the end of the world.

    (This concludes my hot take of the day.)

    snaps aren't the end of the world

    System engineers all collectively shuddered at that thought. Then OS security nerds.

    This is the "I tried heroin and it was good" story but for OSes

    It's not a question whether they work or not. It's whether you're okay with an app distribution system that forces us to be dependent on one corporation. Snap's backend effectively makes Ubuntu almost as bad as Android.

    And seeing as there is no shortage of better options, why not choose those?
