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

    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?
