I honestly like snaps. I like having spotify and discord working as to his other concerns I just don't care.

What's the problem with Spotify's deb package? Works fine for me.

Because adding a bunch of third party-repos/packages is annoying when I need to update or upgrade major releases. Also don't want to give spotify root, I just install it and stop caring about it.

Same here : I use it for Firefox and Chromium, and it just works. Another comment mentioned VLC, which should be a good candidate for frequent release too.

I can understand the "proprietary store" concerns of this thread, however.

[WesternStar]

They should maybe consider adding an option for people to point at other repositories and surface them either in the ubuntu software store or in their own software store.

Why not just get a Mac?

[contravariant]

Not saying you're wrong, but if the response to people wanting to use linux is "Get a Mac" then that's problematic.

[zepto]

It isn’t. I personally use both a Mac, and Linux. Openness is what makes Linux valuable. I have no desire for Linux to become like the Mac with proprietary parts of the system.
