       On the surface, the current #Linux distribution model (where distros package everything, from the kernel to the apps) seems fine.But it's pretty broken, and it's holding the Linux desktop back, which is why distributions like #Ubuntu or #Fedora (and a lot more), are moving away from it, and replacing packages with Snaps and Flatpaks for graphical applications.Here's my opinion on this, trying to explain why exactly this change needs to happen:https://youtu.be/8yAo9Bc6iOI

       @thelinuxEXP I got really cranky about Snap when I first met it, because it somehow insisted that my home directory had to be in /home and also could not be a soft link from /home to the correct drive. Because Ubuntu had installed Firefox with Snap, I couldn't search the web for the odd error message, either.#ubuntu #snap #firefox
