I came to the same conclusion as aeronutt. Snaps - as is - are at best pre-production. When I saw what it does on a 18.04 LTS (like having a plethora of loopback devices, having serious performance issues), I decided to get rid of it.
Not only that but having default applications (gnome-system-monitor, gnome-calculator) to be installed as snaps is just... insane. That's the kind of stable software you want in normal packages (.deb). The only thing I see that snaps are good for is third party commercial software. For that it's a relatively decent solution, because they are system independent and statically link. Still, look at Steam or Skype... Two very successful third party applications: they provided debs just fine. If Ubuntu goes snap-for-everything, I'll need to go back to something more sane. -- 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 the "$HOME/snap" directory to a less obtrusive location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1575053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
