    Some people don’t like snaps

    “Some people like snaps” would have been closer to the truth, but it would still be an exaggeration of their numbers.

      You know what? I know they’re far from the ideal solution, but I have installed a few things with snaps … and it was fine. It worked seamlessly and painlessly (in some instances).

      Generally, I’d prefer other ways to install, but snaps aren’t the end of the world.

      (This concludes my hot take of the day.)

        snaps aren’t the end of the world

        System engineers all collectively shuddered at that thought. Then OS security nerds.

        This is the “I tried heroin and it was good” story but for OSes

          pretty soon we’ll need snaps in our snaps to make it easier for developers to create snaps with snap dependencies

    The “never breaks” under debian is such a bold and false claim lol.

    Try to run a modern high dpi laptop with a debian; you ll quickly find yourself installing from “testing” instead of “stable”, otherwise it wont even start X11. Oh, i see you mixed up some packages from “stable” into your “testing”? Shame, have fun reinstalling your OS

    Sure “skill issue”. But Debian was the only distro I was able to break. Twice. Because first time I didnt understand what happened
