    yeah, snaps, that’s the only thing holding Ubuntu back

    not dpkg and by extension apt being a flaming dumpster fire that will corrupt the package database if you look at it funny and there being no way out of that other than an OS reinstall

    not the fact that there are zero tools for managing dependencies when building a program from source and you’re entirely on your own when it comes to what *-dev packages you need to install

    not the fact that Ubuntu is one of only two distros out of the hundreds that are out there where you can’t use the computer while it’s installing updates

    not Canonical’s general policy of “hey, this technology seems pretty cool, let’s find out whether it’s good or not by forcing it on all our users and seeing if they complain” (see: miri display server, cinnamon desktop, and of course snaps)

    not the fact that there are ADS IN THE GODDAMN TERMINAL

    not the fact that it’s a Linux distro that thinks it’s smarter than you and does something other than what you told it to based on what it thinks you meant (see: apt install firefox installing the snap) which IMO negates one of the primary reasons to use Linux

    no it’s snaps

    snaps are the problem

      I don’t know what you’re mostly on.

      • Dpkg is nowadays rock solid. I had 300 debians working together and auto updating at the same time, never had an issue.

      • managing dépendances when building from source, apart from Gentoo being built around the emerge management, no other package manager has any clue about source building dependencies.

      • confused about what’s the problem when using 'buntu while it’s updating.

      • Agree with this one. Fuck Canonical

      • same as above.

      • so it’s snap the problem then?
