I have to stop clicking on the phoronix comment section. It’s like a mini Twitter.
Still, Ubuntu should also ditch snap instead of hanging onto it just because they wrote it. It’s the reason I don’t recommend Ubuntu to friends anymore.
I tried to open files placed in /tmp in Firefox and gave up after going down the sandbox rabbit hole. I then uninstalled the snap and did some acrobatics to get the apt version, as apt install firefox will actually install the snap by default.
Had the same experience with chromium. Can’t remember what I was trying to do but it involved accessing hardware (GPU or something) and it just didn’t work. That was until I found out apt install chromium installed a goddamn snap package. I felt betrayed and lied to.
Canonical does great things, but that is definitely not one of them.
