Snaps also create a myriad on mount points which is quite annonying. I like Appimage though.


Tell me about it df -m was like myles long. And it [meaning snap] had separate auto-update procedures and janitorial daemons, which I had a hell of a time removing and disabling etc. I guess the best thing about snap is that you can uninstall all of them, I hope, and find the alternatives of the same features either in the main repositories or through every-lovable ppa. I loved 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS, even, but, this is too much. I had to leave man. Had to be there to know it.


I've disabled snapd and set it on hold so it's hopefully never installed again precisely because of this.
