Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Proprietary doesn't bother me at least not how snap is currently implemented
    I don't recall noticing a size difference between snaps and flatpaks
    I've found snaps as fast as flatpaks, but I know snaps has issues before I started using them

    Honestly, if you're satisfied, there's not really a compelling reason to switch. Keep using snaps if that's what works for you. But I would like to remark that we should preferably support open solutions to proprietary ones. That's not saying that we should never use proprietary software, but just something to keep in mind.
