Alongside the Phoronix commentors I’m also of the same opinion that implementing Canonical’s defunct Snap package system is a waste of time and effort.

At this point, everyone with an understanding of the 3 primary containerized package types should know that Snaps in comparison to Flatpaks or AppImage packages should be avoided if possible.

If Canonical open-sourced their backend I believe that snaps would no longer cause such aversion and backlash from the community.

• Snaps vs Flatpaks vs Appimages vs Packages: benchmarks, missing features & differences
• Why do people HATE Snap Packages?

Another wave of bug reports and rants about Linux incoming.
