From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Snaps, they are against one of the main tenants of FOSS. Obscure content validation and reduction in free access.
And also, their singular promise (security and trust) keeps getting undermined by third parties using it to ship malware.
So we're asked to give up control but we're not any safer for it.
I just hate snaps because they're dogshit and don't fucking work.
I made the unfortunate mistake of doing
sudo apt install docker dotnet -yon a dev machine, thinking that I was going to get correctly packaged deb installations of those two tools.After about two hours of having neither fucking tool work, I found that Canonical highjacked the deb installation with their shitty snap packages, which didn't fucking work thanks to the shit sandboxing that snap tries to do.
Don't fucking waste your time with Ubuntu. It's an actual liability.
