So I know my way around Linux pretty well. However I never really got the gist of the difference between Snap, Flatpak and Native packages.
What exactly sets them apart?
Why does everyone seem to hate snap?
I have been using all of them, simultaneously on the same system and never really noticed a difference in the way installation, updates etc are handled (syntax ofc).
I hear snap sandboxes? Is that the main reason? Thanks for your insights…
I think most people hate snaps because in Ubuntu they are pushed on the user quite forcefully rather than being a choice. It’s also my understanding they’re not very open.
I’m very new to Linux but in my experience I found them annoying for Firefox as it kept changing where my files were meant to save to and I found it hard to troubleshoot.
My brief exposure to them was negative so I will now hate them with a passion until the end of time.
