   Sativa GNutella to All   
   Ubuntu without Snap   
   03 Sep 22 00:28:50   
   
   From: Sativa@tella.com   
      
   In a previous post it was explained why Snaps are slow.   
      
   Snaps are difficult to configure. For example by default a Snap   
    has access to home directory only.   
      
   Without Snap I have to download like people do with Windows.   
      
   Like going to the Mozilla website to download Firefox tarball.   
      
   How many applications are unusable inside the repository like this?   
      
   I have around 5 applications that are in the repository as a Snap,   
    but due to Snap confined nature are unusable, like mkvextract   
    suite which requires movie to be put in home directory before it   
    can be modified.   
      
   I now am over to Manjaro, it's surprising how fast Firefox starts.   
      
   apt update = pacman -Sy   
   apt upgrade = pacman -Syu   
      
   Snaps make repository useless, it has the application but crippled.   
      
   That also makes Ubuntu crippled and no longer of interest sadly.
