    I remember when the snap version of calculator took like 12 seconds to launch and Canonical were like “yeah but what’s the big deal?”.

    It basically turns your super fast Linux into feeling like a 10 year old windows machine.

    I hear they have improved performance now though but there are many other reasons why snap suck.



  • Arch because I like simple.

    Other distros are an exercise in patience I think. Each Ubuntu version has different names and versions of stuff like docker, mysql and everything else. It’s really annoying to work with. I assume all six month distros are like that. And you have to add extra repos, keys and whatnot for it to even find things.

    With arch, since it’s rolling, I just install the latest version and I already know the command. It’s always the same. Always.

    There are many reasons I like arch but the simplicity of the installations is one of my favorite reasons to use it, and the fact that it’s always the latest version.
