Snaps are a great way to:

  • ruin single source of truth for state of installed software
  • .. and contents
  • .. and dependencies (dependency hell is always self-inflicted)

What a dumb, dumb idea. We already avoid debian/ubuntu because of the validation lack in the packaging, but this is just comically bad.
