I have NODE installed using snap lmao. Why? Installing it the normal way just gives me tons of errors that I'm too bored to deal with. I'm sure there's a fix, but I'm too lazy to debug all that. Of course, I don't use snap node for hosting servers and stuff. I just use it for react native. Regardless, it works n I'm happy lol

    Yeah. I don't mind snap at all for cases where a better package doesn't exist.

    What made me give up Ubuntu was how it railroaded me into snap versions of packages that work better, for me, as native .deb installs.

    Oh definitely. Canonical forcing us to use snap Firefox was very shitty. I mean I still use Ubuntu because I'm lazy, but I did change the snap Firefox thing to the apt libraries or whatever.

    I really don't understand why they don't just adopt flatpak.
