Nah. Even if the Snapstore backend were FOSS, you should still avoid Snaps because the way they implemented sandboxing subtly breaks many applications.

Fair; that is true.

Not to mention, they dishonestly co-opt your apt install invocations to sneakily install the Snap version.

🤨 damn that’s pretty crazy if true. Knowing Canonical this could be real, I’ll have to look this up.

Edit:
Confirmed this is true

• Born to apt, forced to snap
• How do I force ubuntu NOT to use snaps?

Apologies for linking to rdit, but yeah Canonical what’s going on with you
