Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot install GNOME Software

[onpon4]

I used Ubuntu 16.04 before switching back to Trisquel 7 recently, and it was  
a nightmare specifically because of the problem with Snap packages. I simply  
could not search for libre software in GNOME Software; every time I did a  
search, I would get all these Snap packages, completely unmarked, and  
scarcely any results from the actual software repository. So even though I'd  
disabled the "Multiverse" and "Restricted" repositories, it was completely  
useless; it was like Linux Mint all over again, with a jumbled mess of libre  
software I might want to install and proprietary software that I definitely  
don't. I ended up abandoning Software entirely and using the command-line  
tools exclusively.

Modifying Software to fix this problem would be a very nice thing indeed.  
Until then, it's probably easiest to just stick to other tools. Do contribute  
to a solution, though, preferably as far upstream as possible.
