@niemeyer Well, yes and no. First is that there can exist measures of better and worse that respond to how humans process information. We may not want or be able to use them, but they exist and they are meaningful.
Second, and more importantly, the snap directory does not contain only user-created content. I just opened gnome-calculator in the latest Ubuntu, and that created the snap directory in it. Inside, I get current, current/199, current/222, current/238, current/common, and a symbolic link. These are not files I created. My first thought when I see this is "WTF!" (What are These Files!!!). This is not user-created comment, and it's meaningless to me. Also, even if we only base the decision on consistency and common practices, as I just tried to explain, having a directory not hidden with a fixed name in the home directory is not a common practice. If you refer to directories such as Videos and Documents, then these have a different purpose, meaningful names, and they are configurable. If you refer to other exceptions in which those directories include configuration files (which I think you don't), then I suspect these are very rare. I cannot really think of any. Perhaps you could explain one case in which this happens, is accepted by the community, and could support having snap there in plain sight? Also, I would appreciate it if we could keep this focused on the discussion, and not the person. I may be passionate or not, you do not know me, but I've referred/discussed your arguments, not you, and I ask you to do the same. -- 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
