Comment 4 for bug 1998233

How long does it take for Snap maintainers to get off their high horse and fix bugs that hurt their users? The reluctance to purge Snap from Ubuntu (Desktop) is slowly killing it.

Meanwhile Flatpak just runs fine for my desktop needs. Snap on servers is the one component I advise traditional companies against using Ubuntu and stick with RHEL clones or choose Debian (take a look at what Bitnami are doing and accept that Linux on Chromebooks is also a Debian, ... and that Ubuntu on WSL should be considered broken when you expect Systemd to be working). So, the value of Snap and Snapcruft? A misleading middle ground between Kubernetes-based Container Orchestration for high availability services on servers and Flatpak sandboxed desktop apps.

Would the world look different if Ubuntu Phone had gained significant market share? Sure! But it didn't. Today's developers who still have problems figuring out a path from Docker to Kubernetes would suffer less if a company like Canonical told them: We migrated from our proprietary system to Kubernetes-like Podman and you can do too! You don't have to reinvent the wheel. Just put a stop on your losses and commit to the standards everyone else has been working in the industry with for years.

But uh, well, snap store can't update itself. Status: Confirmed; Importance: Undecided; Unassigned. For months.

Says it all. Purge Snap.
