I see people hate snap packaging and removing it if their OS support it. Is it because it’s NOT fully open-source or just due to how the technology works?
Update: fixed typos
Examining my disk partitions with df is ruined now. Every snap gets its own virtual disk.
Ha I was just listening to the Linux Unplugged podcast and the guy was just complaining about this same thing
I wonder if that could easily be fixed by just filtering the output of
dfto not show virtual disks (dfalready has an-loption to only show local disks, so would expect that changingdfcould be relatively easy).Note: I am not saying that I like snaps…
It seems incredibly shortsighted to go this way. Sure 1 or 2 is fine, but when the whole os is snaps it’s abusing the system.
This is the reason I got rid of snaps
Just create an alias that filters loop devices. I mean, if this is your only problem with snap, you can fix it in a second. But I’m betting you have other problems with it.
