       Here's a perfect example of what's wrong with Ubuntu's crusade to move software into snaps: if you install #GIMP from snapstore, you don't have an easy practical way to install G'MIC into it (a plugin that basically makes GIMP still worthy of running). Why not? Because, as the maintainer of the snap says[1] there's no way he's going to be the arbiter of what to include.

       The root of the problem is that apt is not a packaging format. It's a big, working ecosystem solving many problems of installing software into a system. Ubuntu is not willing (nor able) to replicate this ecosystem, but they keep pretending that you can sacrifice basic usability for security and treat every application as a self-sufficient island. You can make it work for some, which are either simple or have been created that way (Firefox). But it's never going to work in the general case.

       @isagalaev maybe don't misgender people in your rants about software?Holy fucking shit, how much of an asshole do you have to be to think that it's ok to misgender people just because you dislike a decision they made.
