I'm a simple man, I see a comment complaining about snap and I automatically upvote.

It's 2024. If you're still distributing snaps as the preferred method of install, you're alienating your users. AppImage, Flatpak, and regular containers are all far better deployment options.

Dropped lxd because of it. Now I hear they're a proper debian package, but that decision was so weird (especially the auto-update part) I don't trust them anymore.

Same. I have a couple of comments as to why snap is awful.
I wish everything in linux land just had an AUR equivalent.
I wish I could upvote this more... snaps are the worst!
