Feedback

Mark from Saigon

Mark advocates for trying Snaps but understands they are not for everyone. He then dragged us into a merchandise tangent. Stay tuned for more on that.

Scott via Fireside

Scott uses Snaps on his Debian server. On the desktop he mostly sticks to Appimages and Flatpaks.

Dan from Matrix

Dan seldom uses Snaps and has them near the bottom of his ranking. The last one he remembers using is the Nextcloud snap on an Ubuntu server.

chraist also on Matrix

chraist uses Void and doesn't have Systemd therefore doesn't use Snaps. He asked if we thought there would ever be a Snap solution without Systemd.

bgt from Matrix

bgt says "meh, snaps aren't really that worth it to be honest. If there was no flatpak, sure, but like this, there's no need."

Marshman from Discord

Marshman thinks Snaps are a handy delivery method for proprietary applications.
