I'm still not exactly sure, to be honest, why Snap exists. The desktop on Linux has gone Flatpak. If I'm running a server, why the heck would I trust Snap, a platform that until recently didn't even let me control updates, over Docker? If something goes wrong, who do I call? If I need a custom storage arrangement, who do I call? If I need a custom network arrangement, who do I call? If I need to scale up, who do I call? Why would I subject myself to this? Is it IoT? Maybe it has a market there - but why doesn't it focus on being the best it can be, solely for that market, then? One more note: Snap even allowing unapproved repackaging of apps was, in my opinion, a very bad idea in the first place. Case in point: Even the Snap homepage is advertising a community repackage of a password manager ("NordPass" - developer not verified). Why the heck should Snap be proud of that? (Edit: Apparently NordPass's website does point to it - but the developer remains unverified. What's the point of verification...) |
