It's official. I hate snap packages! Easy to install and maintain but they bring the worst of Windows that is updates attthe worst time possible

@ivanodin Oh ok. I'm so happy with the way flatpak does things that i never had any reason to try snap. I wish we could all stop pretending any of these systems help in any way and just go back to using Slackware Linux and just untar everything manually to / · 1 month ago
I definitely prefer Flatpaks to Snaps for GUI package management. Flatpak is really good at ironing out all of the dependencies while preventing redundancies, and updates only happen when you open the package manager and click the "Update" button. I try to remember to update once every couple of days just to keep things safe, but you'll never be interrupted by an update!
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of anything Ubuntu-adjacent, but everyone has their favorite system, I guess. · 1 month ago
"Universal package management" has always just been glorified (somehow even more) bloated runtimes, and should never have been used as a replacement to traditional package management. It's convenient, but it's a hack to a problem that has many better answers (like using a packaging ecosystem that is already well supported). · 1 month ago
@genakaya No, not on Windows! lol I mean that this thing of updating at the wrong time is just like Windows. · 1 month ago
The Firefox threats annoy me. Like "better save your work, in 18 days I'm going to restart your browser. You'll never know." · 1 month ago
snap, on windows ? wtf · 1 month ago
Thankfully, it can be disable for an application with 'snap refresh --hold brave' if you want to stop Brave from updating, for example. · 1 month ago
