The thing I hate most about snaps is how they pollute the mount namespace with loop mounts. Install a few apps and 2/3rds of your `mount` output will be /dev/loopX devices. Especially annoying since I often do loop-mounts myself and picking them out from the flood of unrelated snaps is a pain.

If they could somehow hide the mounts (in a different mount namespace maybe?) that would be cool. I mean still, I would prefer more open formats such as flatpack and appimage (since with snaps you buy into the Canonical ecosystem with no way to provide alternative appstores) ......

I think that's why I gravitated to Flatpak instead of Snap. That and maybe the store experience - flathub.org - was better.

I just jumped the ship to Nix.

You should rewrite everything in Rust too.

Nix is the "worse is better" approach, it's just symlinks and environment variables and bash scripts under the hood. (Not even a single container in sight!)

[Aerbil313]

Not a bad idea if I could.

You can pass a flag to the commands to hide them.
