      Out of the loop here, but can’t just people install regular Ubuntu to use Snap?

    Outside of certbot, I cannot think of anything that requires snapd over flatpak. I think certbot also has a PIP installation method anyways. I think it makes sense for everyone but Canonical to simply disable it or remove it by default. It’s not personal, flatpak won the format war outside a few niche programs.

      I can only get it to work via snap and on Ubuntu. I’ve tried Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, and NixOS for distro and both manual and snap. It doesn’t even have a flatpak.

        If you need snapd, install it. It’s not like I now consider you a degenerate for using snaps. It’s just a packaging format. I just understand why only Canonical enables it by default. If anything its annoying there is a handful of apps that provide snaps but not flatpaks.

    Why are you reposting this? And to the same instance?

    And, again, why didn’t you bother to follow the thread of that comment? Quoting shit out of context is disingenuous.

    Sure. Other people can do that if they want.

    I don’t have a problem with companies bundling whatever packages they want on their distro.

    The difference comes when they actively block installation (just like Mint does). That is what is anti-consumer. It adds confusion to users as they have to go and find out what random file in /etc/ needs to be edited or removed, just to install some software. It’s stupid.

    You may disagree, that’s fine. It’s okay to not like things.

    Btw i dislike Ubuntu in general and snaps in particular.
