Just remove the crypto bullshit apps and 99% of the problems will go away.
And maybe release the SnapStore code so they can all scam each other over there.
Why just now? Meanwhile, all Debian packages on their apt repos are reviewed and maintained by Debian.
How is that not a security theater? , you just need to :
- publish a good snap
- change it to malware after it is approved
- profit
The extra cost added to override this is fairly small, i don’t think it will help.
I can recommend a minty flavored alternative if you’re sick of it.
I’m using Mint and new to it. Does the Mint app store have more security or scrutiny? I’m cautious as most things are lucky to have one or two reviews listen. Many are zero though and it’s not quite clear to me yet how to tell if things are from an official source or if they had review.
wanst that the whole damn (stated) point of making it proprietary?
I’m glad to see that teststeve5 passed the test!
🤣
Then I’ll be on the last deb until it no longer works. I’m not going down the proprietary snap route.
I’ve heard all the arguments about how these new packaging formats are supposed to make things easy for developers and for users with different use cases than my own (apparently), but I will continue to avoid them until they have further matured. I’m relieved that this is still possible.
True. Actual package managers are still thousands of times superior to flat and snap.
Maybe adding a proprietary later to an open-source OS was a bad idea (for end users)?
