Why is snaps hated
(lemmy.ml)
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.

Seems like canonical wants to be the only software distributor for their OS. Wouldn't suprise me if they completely disabled the option to install other repos and DEB packages soon.
agreed
Wasn't there an article posted here that the next ubuntu update won't have deb support at first and it'll come later? 100% chance they decide to be an immutable snap-based distro in the near future.
