    Unpopular opinion: snap is not so bad and genuinely useful for many things

    I would rather have a snap than building from source or use some tar.gz archive with a sketchy install script

      some tar.gz archive with a sketchy install script

      I just can’t… like maybe I’m too old and that’s why I still can’t wrap my head around how we went from “./configure && make & make install scripts are almost the de facto way to install software in linux” to “a sketchy install script”. We’re living interesting times at Linux
