yeah, snaps, that's the only thing holding Ubuntu back
not dpkg and by extension apt being a flaming dumpster fire that will corrupt the package database if you look at it funny and there being no way out of that other than an OS reinstall
not the fact that there are zero tools for managing dependencies when building a program from source and you're entirely on your own when it comes to what *-dev packages you need to install
not the fact that Ubuntu is one of only two distros out of the hundreds that are out there where you can't use the computer while it's installing updates
not Canonical's general policy of "hey, this technology seems pretty cool, let's find out whether it's good or not by forcing it on all our users and seeing if they complain" (see: miri display server, cinnamon desktop, and of course snaps)
not the fact that there are ADS IN THE GODDAMN TERMINAL
not the fact that it's a Linux distro that thinks it's smarter than you and does something other than what you told it to based on what it thinks you meant (see:
apt install firefoxinstalling the snap) which IMO negates one of the primary reasons to use Linuxno it's snaps
snaps are the problem
Cinnamon Desktop? Cononical? Since when was Linux Mint owned by Canonical?
Did I say Cinnamon I meant Unity
