I completely agree with @gizmochicken (#19), the importance of this bug is underrated. This is the second hottest bug in snapd, it has been opened for almost 2 years and is affecting every user. In fact, I have never seen any other open-source software occupying home directory without asking user permission (Even software in Windows system won't do this). I don't think this is just a 'Missing functionality' issue, such intrusive method is definitely hurting Snap's reputation. @neotheo (#24) is right, many people may not use snap again because of this.
Most of comments above agree on changing to '$HOME/.snap', I personally prefer '$HOME/.local/snap'. Either is much better than current location. I hope this will be fixed soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575053 Title: Please move snap user data from "$HOME/snap" to "$HOME/.snap" (or to "$HOME/.local/share/snap" in accordance with the XDG spec) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1575053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
