snap sucks
why is the backend closed source
what is canonical hiding from us
ubuntu sucks
I agree, however I use snap because my partner's use it. Plus the stupid streaks keep me from falling back into a major depression where I just turtle and don't talk to anyone for 6 months but my wife.
I think things being closed source in the case of these chat/social media apps is the fact if we get the source we can probably figure out ways to bypass the paywalls.
What's the beef with Ubuntu? I use bazzite and debian myself?
The joke is that you are referring to Snapchat and I'm referring to Ubuntu's Snap package manager (basically worse flatpak)
Thanks for the clarification.
