You had me at proprietary. But seriously, I use FOSS. I’ll tolerate proprietary software if I have absolutely no other choice. There’s absolutely no reason for me to put up with this bullshit. While it’s a long way from the kind of shitfuckery Microsoft is so fond of, it’s still completely unnecessary.
Proprietary doesn’t bother me at least not how snap is currently implemented
I don’t recall noticing a size difference between snaps and flatpaks
I’ve found snaps as fast as flatpaks, but I know snaps has issues before I started using them
Honestly, if you’re satisfied, there’s not really a compelling reason to switch. Keep using snaps if that’s what works for you. But I would like to remark that we should preferably support open solutions to proprietary ones. That’s not saying that we should never use proprietary software, but just something to keep in mind.
Me reacting to analogies with “Did you know these two things are not completely identical?”, completely unburdened by the knowledge that I’m supposed to explain how the differences invalidate the comparison.
I’d argue it’s pretty stupid to use FOSS but then depend on a proprietary server that only one for-profit company is allowed to run to deliver all that software, trusting them to just never do wrong or leave you high and dry. I’d also argue it fits the analogy perfectly, because the analogy was about saying “I haven’t had a problem yet” in response to being shown the potential problems of the action.
I haven’t had any issues with the few snaps I use so far
The issues are more being worse than flatpak in most ways: Proprietary, bigger, slower, no support for external repos

My grandpa used to say something like the idea that he never had problems with the ‘few’ times he drove home drunk so far. Then he ran someone over.
It’s better to understand something is an avoidable risk BEFORE you’re shown graphically.
Yes, snaps are just like manslaughter

Driving drunk is factually stupid
Snaps are not
It’s a bad analogy

I mean, aren’t they?
They literally are
elaborate?
Me hate snap. Snap no good. Me no like snap. >:((((
Snaps killed his family.
I ran ubuntu for a year and most my packages were snaps. It slowed my machine and made it lag so much. I now use arch btw
DBeaver it’s not on the repos, but it is on snap
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
