    The sheer audacity and arrogance of giving me something for free and not caring* about me.

    * “Not caring” presumably means “not doing something about my pet issue”, but I’m not going to take the clickbait.

      It’s about not being able to install .deb packages through the installation GUI.

      The whole snap issue is hardly a pet peeve. Let alone in an LTS release.

          as far as I remember I could always double click the .deb and the GUI would let me install it, pretty handy. Aaand it stopped working some time ago. I’m not using ubuntu outside of work and there’s not much system package installing in work environments so I’m out of touch now, but it was handy at the time.

            The discord snap is basically unusable for me so that’s the only way I can have discord installed. I’ll probably switch away from kubuntu next time if it inherited this problem.

                Does that have auto updates? It’s kind of annoying to download debs every week.

                I’m not super well versed, I’m a Linux casual.

                  you can go into the command line and write “flatpak upgrade”, but every time I open the discord app it apparently downloads something, idk if it’s self updating correctly or not.

      giving me something for free

      What are you talking about? It is not even “for free”, they get a lot value from the community.

      They’re nothing without the users, it’s not that they would be making it if nobody uses it anyways. Users used to love them, they trusted them, they went on spreading their system, reported issues, created tutorials, flavors, videos, tools, and so on, they helped Cannonical become what it is now.

      I don’t think they’re giving us anything “for free.”

      The software is broken in an obvious way, even though it used to work and they could just roll it back for the release.

      They are actively trying to harm the community to somehow “force” users into snaps.
