That is pretty funny. However the “not having it at all” mfs suddenly reconsider when it’s the only way to install an app. I for example maintain the 4K Video Downloader Plus snap and the only other installation method is a .deb. In the stats I can see many other distros than just Ubuntu. I think it’s the ideal packaging format for apps that should stay up to date at all time, even if the system isn’t.

I mean, if you want the app badly enough, I guess “not having it” slips down in the ranking. I have yet to find a single app I wanted enough to put snap on my system though. So far, I’ve found Flatpaks, AppImage, RPM packages or source code for everything I need.
Look, I don’t wanna argue about the advantages or disadvantages of it. My beef isn’t with snap as a technology, but with Canonical’s practices, and rather than railing against them, I decided to skip town and find some distro where I’m not fighting my vendor.
