2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Could someone explain to me why snap has such a bad reputation?

    Slow startup time, doesn't honour system themes and big download sizes come to my mind.

    snap backend is proprietary and controlled by canonical also people don't like the slow start up times

    There are better solutions for everything it does/tries to do:

    • Flatpak for desktop applications
    • docker/podman/LXC/… for server software
    • apt/dnf/pacman/… for system utilities

    It automatically updates the software you've installed, and there's no way to turn that off. That's why I personally hate it.

    One thing really annoying for me, there's only the 1 official "store" you can use and it doesn't support ipv6.

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 says it's been available for apt since march 12th 2013.
