The title is a quote from Mastodon. I’ve always seen dislike towards snap so I was taken back when I saw this stance. The person who wrote this was referring to Tuxedo Laptops.

What are your thoughts on this?

      Didn’t bother to follow the thread?

      Sure. Other people can do that if they want.

      I don’t have a problem with companies bundling whatever packages they want on their distro.

      The difference comes when they actively block installation (just like Mint does). That is what is anti-consumer. It adds confusion to users as they have to go and find out what random file in /etc/ needs to be edited or removed, just to install some software. It’s stupid.

      You may disagree, that’s fine. It’s okay to not like things.

        Did you look at the timestamps? I posted my question here before this particular response from the OP. I asked the question on Lemmy out of interest and wanting to get a wider perspective.

        I also engaged with the OP on the thread so that I can get their perspective on their stance.
