Snap is like using a python virtualenv, while apt is like using global pip. We all know which one of these usually results in a broken installation.
Apt debs more often than not rely on some specific version of a third party package which becomes a headache when there's another package that needs a different version of it. Snap in theory solves that, making the deps local to the package you're installing.
If I had a dollar for every time I had apt bullshit me with "requires package, but it will not be installed" or something of the sort I'd probably have something over $20 which isn't that much but still infuriatingly high.
And yet they're promoting snap.
Have they given us the ability to stop automatic updates?
I bet those only come from brand stores.. so $20k/year for an ability to disable updates?

Completely unrelated but the exactness of this turn of phrase here delighted me so much and without your permission I’d like to steal it for my own use in my daily conversations (without credit).

Honestly wondering if a System76 box or laptop would play nicely with openSUSE.
