Canonical are currently dealing with a security incident with the Snap store, after users noticed multiple fake apps were uploaded so temporary limits have been put in place.

      Big issue with snaps for me has always been the proprietary backend and that they try to make a new standard instead of improving flatpak which most distros have alrady adopted

        Canonical loves reinventing the wheel instead of using and improving something that already exists. It’s also either source-available (not OSS, as no contributions are possible) or closed-source. Examples are Mir (Wayland), Snaps (flatpak) and Unity (GNOME 3).

          Unity wasn’t FOSS? And they tried to make a non-FOSS window manager as well?
