Some of my colleagues in the Linux business have commented
on the<br>
intrusiveness of snaps.<br>
<br>
I am considering removing snap support on my own systems. If
I can, I<br>
never use them. <br>

<div>I am disappointed with snaps, but I really am quite
sympathetic with the argument for putting Chromium in a
snap. If it saves any developer effort (with something that
takes a lot of ongoing maintenance like a browser) it's
probably worth doing something.</div>

<div>I had fewer issues with Flatpaks, but even those were
poor performers on low-resource systems.</div>

<div>Folks who have been updating Ubuntu every six months (non
LTS) have probably been running more and more snaps for
awhile. The software center in 19.10 "Eoan" DOES at least
SHOW when items are in a snap, and Flatpak integration works
there so I presume at least that part will get fixed in the
LTS version.</div>
