Why I dislike snaps
Screenshot doesn’t even show half.

dontcarebear, Now imagine that your home directory is a network mount where only the user has permissions.
mvirts, only the user has permission 😅
mwguy, The most annoying thing about snaps is that they fall over trying to use a network share.
ruckblack, Oh my god I hate this, I had no idea
rotopenguin, On the plus side, snaps also crap your system log full of petty little AppArmor events. And when snap gets its permissions wrong, you can easily fix it with SnapSeal.
(If Flatpak would just fucking stop rewriting every file path as /var/run/1000/blah, it would be the unquestionably superior package tech)
SirNuke, Friction between Snap and AppArmor is to be expected. The corporate sponsor of Snap, Canonical, is well known for their icy relationship with the corporate sponsor of AppArmor, Canonical.
Fisch, If you don’t want flatpaks to do that, you’ll have to give them permission to see the entire file system
aBundleOfFerrets, As another commentor pointed out, you can just use flatseal to give the app full access to whatever dirs you need.
technologicalcaveman, Switching to Gentoo has been the best. If I don't want something I just blacklist it in my make.conf. getting errors from an odd package? Blacklist. Don't want systemd or gnome software? Blacklist. It's great. My shit runs insanely fast and my system only breaks when I explicitly do something stupid, and it's usually just one minor adjustment away from getting fixed.
railsdev, While I get that
mounts
is probably full of crap, I’d put the blame here on the UI rather than snaps
Fizz, Why what’s wrong with that? Is it just that it looks bad or is there a performance issue to.
PseudoSpock, I don’t like snaps, but dude… Do you even know what fstab is?
terminhell, Ya, I think I goofed on my terminology XD
PseudoSpock, It’s ok, bro.
601error, IIRC, it is a C runtime function that stabs a file.
taladar, It is actually the secure version that requires you to specify a buffer length of the old insecure ftab function that is in half a dozen standards that counted the lines indented by tabs in a file. Of course they didn’t change the fact that it just writes the result number as a string into an output buffer instead of returning an integer because that would make it less portable to operating systems which still use the insecure standard version.
Synthead, This is an interesting way to show your fstab
PseudoSpock, 😂
terminhell, Ya, I think I goofed on my terminology XD
Zeppo, Sigh, I was a sysadmin on my own system from 1999-2008 and on a busy server from 2008-2012… then essentially quit. Now with flatpak and snaps it seems I have no idea what I am doing.
manpacket, Don't use it - vote with your feet :)
eager_eagle, I take the unconditional and mandatory creation of
~/snap
as a middle finger to all users. Fuck snap
