Upgraded Ubuntu to 22.04, where Firefox is Snap by default. Wasn’t going to fight it, especially since Canonical has made 3 blog posts talking about how much faster they made Firefox on Snap.
Since then, I’ve had subtle but annoying issues.
- Can’t Google things that have a colon after the first word- i.e.
error: file not founddoesn’t work - I get notifications for pending updates
- Other apps like Gnome’s Software take a minute+ to load on my beefy computer
This isn’t even a meme. Snap is trash. I wanted to be neutral and not join the “hate train” but seriously. Snap is that bad.
I use just one Snap, rest are native, and a dozen or so Flatpaks and about a dozen Appimages.
I’m still researching what OS will be ideal for me when in the close future and it seems until now it’s ubuntu (or kubuntu), but I will make sure removing snap is the first thing to do.
Mint. After Windows 10 happened, I jumped ship from Windows 7 and adopted Ubuntu 16.04 --> 18.04 for 5 years, then last month I freshly installed 22.04 since I stick to LTS. Jumped to Mint in 2 weeks.
