Title:
Stop recommending snap
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
Opinion
Bug description:
Currently, ubuntu recommends installing snap by default, and some apps
are slowly transitioning from DEB-based installation to Snap-based
installation.
APT is great, and facilitates having a clean, maintainable system.
The snap project is not very well designed or engineered (just changing the
location of where snap data is located is taking the project more than 5 years
because it was hardcoded: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1575053). Snaps
are large and VERY slow. The design of snap, as well as the way decisions are
made, are very questionable, and are receiving
increasing amounts of criticism.
I'd like to request that Ubuntu stops recommending snap, stops
transitioning towards snaps, and we come back to defaulting to
DEB/APT-based installation for all apps.
