Just made/realized I had a launchpad account for this. I love snapd but I'm
tired of seeing the ~/snap directory pop up so much that I added a line to my
bashrc to notify me if it shows up again. I'll likely be reinstalling snaps
once this gets fixed, but I do want to say one thing to the developers. when a
problem has 5 times as much "heat" as the next largest complaint, your userbase
probably cares a lot about it, and it comes off as pretty disrespectful for you
to just pass it off as an example of the Law of triviality. IMO, this should
have been done soon after this bug was posted, and symlinks of some kind for
each snaps download folders and such.
That being said, I have barely looked at the snap code at all, and would like
to ask the developers why just grepping for every @{HOME}/snap and replacing it
with @{HOME}/.snap wouldn't solve the problem? What containerization would be
broken if you found and changed every reference to the snap folder?
