I’d you want immutability and things that just works, snaps are the exact opposite of what he needs. I’m gearing up to swap away from Ubuntu for the same reasons as him, and the snap ecosystem is utterly fucked and accelerating my timetable daily.

I’ve never seen something so damn broken, and it gets more so every update. It’s gotten to the point of where snap store will just straight up log me out of my session out of the blue when it finds an update so it can install it, losing all of my work.

That definitely sounds like you just made that up, considering I was around then.

Pretty much everywhere has cracked down on that kind of thing for a while.

The funny thing is, their fees aren’t high. You just got duped by Epic’s propaganda that 30% was high.

In fact, it’s vastly lower than the previous alternative, which was in store and took almost twice as much more of the cut.

Even today, 30% is standard for a digital eshop (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Apple), except Valve offers more services and benefits than all of them combined.

Because they can use the phone company records to say “We think you were here when this “violent riot” happened (actually just a protest that police started shooting at protestors because they know they’ll get away with it), you’re arrested”. And cops don’t care if you’re recording, they’ll either break your phone or shoot you anyway and then claim it was self defense.

If they knew their history, they wouldn’t be repeating it.

Instead of trying to tear down things that work, try building up the distros that don’t.

This is the most convoluted bullshit ever.
