I dumped Ubuntu over Snap. Maybe I’m just ignorant but it seems like allowing developers to push software updates without any review invites the same sorts of issues we’ve seen on npm, with very high risks for certain use cases. I don’t want that kind of relationship with my OS, forced updates are why I ditched Windows in the first place.
Aside from the philosophical concerns I ran into a lot of glitches with various snap packages, frequently resulting in lost or corrupted data. And the sandbox approach prevented certain filesystem tweaking I previously took for granted. Overall I didn’t see the benefit and didn’t have time to futz with it.
I’m curious if there are any distros with a recent version of Gnome and also a sane package manager.
