I say this with love for the global Linux community, but we need to be able to laugh at ourselves from time to time.

No quams with wayland or rust, but snap packages, those things annoy me greatly.
Yeah, at least use Flatpac.
I'm cool with AppImage as well, they just work.
I used a daemon to manage my AppImages, worked great until fairly recently where it began mounting way too many FUSEs and just make AppImages stop working altogether. I miss it, because now I have to manually manage the AppImages, and that makes me sad. :(
I'm lazy.
i use Gear Lever it's alright for managing appimages
Iβll give it a whirl! Thank you!
Also there's AM in case that one doesn't work out.
Thank you! I did actually spend some time yesterday setting up some AppImages with Gear Lever, and so far it seems alright. The update feature seems very neat.
I might give AM a whirl on my laptop though!
I don't think I've used a snap, flatpac, or appimage package yet.
Amusing. Because years before they existed, I used to pray such existed.
Interesting to see the tooling around such.
::: spoiler Still unlikely to use though perhaps largely because I've been using BedrockLinux since 2012
The most annoying thing about snaps is it's so unnecessary. Why go to the effort of supporting that when snap exists?
I find snaps quite useful for CLI apps, I'm curious what annoys you about them.
And yes I understand that the backend not being open source is an issue, but it's not that important imo. Flathub, for example, could change the code on their backend without notice and screw us over.
You can use flatpaks without ever touching Flathub.
Yeah I know it's just that the network effect leads to most people simply using flathub
Ubuntu is owned by a billionair who is calling himself self appointed dictator, they have a long history of forcing their technologies down their users throats ignoring all concerns of the community, which is why it got way less popular and is now mainly doing b2b
if you write apt install firefox on ubuntu, the snap version is installed.
