[β] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] lengau@midwest.social [S] 1 point 2 years ago* I don't believe Flatpak has the ability to package something like node. It certainly can't package kernels or system services (at least not without leaving the user with a ton of manual work to do that would make it not much better than getting a tarball). permalink fedilink source parent
