It's centralized and controlled by Canonical, it enforces updates and you can't disable it, sometimes when you uninstall snapd it cames back when you apt update and most importantly, it is painfully slow.
Oh so it's the exact kind of enshittification that anyone on Linux went there to escape. Sounds like a deal breaker to me.
So it’s not about snap, it’s about canonical- and they are why I’m no longer an Ubuntu user. Debian > any downstream distro
Yeah, sounds extremely shitty. It'd be fine if they didn't force it
And the fact they're forcing it tells you they're going to do something anti-consumer with it, so even if it doesn't suck now it will in the future.
Valid point
