Yep, but that’s a problem with all package managers where users can publish their own code without auditing. Every app store has these problems. Both npm and pip have these issues too.
People shouldn’t install unvetted binaries from random people. I wouldn’t install random binaries that I’ve downloaded through a web browser—why would installing through snap be any different?
I’ve been using Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 daily for years now without any Snap issues. I haven’t once had any problems and I have 20 snaps installed.
You know last week there was malware found in the snap repos

Maybe because you used apt to install the package and instead Ubuntu installed a snap.
That was what made me switch anyway.
Oh shit I didn’t know it could do that… Fuck can I uninstall snap from pop_os or mint lol
Pop doesn’t use snap. It’s great. You should give it a shot. I have nothing but good things to say about it.
Great you are the 1%
