@linux Sharing a ‘small’ inconvenience I had to fix with #opensuse #slowroll (I suspect #tumbleweed is the same) - I couldn’t launch snaps (spotify, bitwarden) after update - error was: cannot determine seccomp compiler version in generateSystemKey fork/exec /usr/lib/snapd/snap-seccomp: no such file or directory

The fix (I first tried re-installing, didn’t work) was to:
a. locate snap-seccomp - was in /usr/libexec/snapd
b. symlink: ln -s /usr/libexec/snapd /usr/lib/snapd

#linux #snap

    the attack surface for something that isn’t officially maintained by the developers, and that doesn’t have more vetting (e.g. distribution packages) opens up room for malicious actors.

    There are actors like #jiatan out there.

    Funny that Jia Tan was an official maintainer of xz until he was found to be problematic.

    Speaking of verifying, you know you can’t really verify anything on the snap server since they’re proprietary, right? On the contrary everything on flathub is laid to bare for anyone to look at.

    In the end, you’re free to choose. Since you’ve kindly provided your argument, I’ve provided mine in hope you’d reconsider.
