[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 910174"] I haven't played around with snap packs too much, but I have used Flatpaks and like them a lot. Yes they are bigger size wise, but it works. I think part of the problem in Linux (hence the fragmentation) is that many people are expecting things to be 100% perfect out of the gate. If it's not, it garbage. Sometime things take time to mature, but as usual instead of working together, someone else and goes and does their own thing. Furthermore, you will never, ever please 100% of the people all the time. That goes for anything in life. I think if the community just chose 1 solution, even if it's not perfect, and work together to make it better, it will help the Linux ecosystem a lot. As for Snaps, the only major issue that I keep seeing is the fact that Canonical has kind of closed it up, instead of the standard open nature of things on Linux. So it's more of a personal stance, rather than it not working as a solution per say. At least that's how I see it. This is one of those things that I see get brought up in the Linux community. There does seem to be this stigma that Linux users are pirates and don't want to pay for anything and to be fair, when you see things like this, I wonder why there's this perception. I truly wish that people in the Linux community would stop caring and worrying about what MS, Apple, etc.. are doing and just do their own thing and try to do something different for a change. I do agree that projects like this are only adding to the confusion and aren't really helping things, either. [/QUOTE]
