I see people hate snap packaging and removing it if their OS support it. Is it because it’s NOT fully open-source or just due to how the technology works?

    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.

      It’s still not great. Better, but still slow enough to make you question whether you’ve actually launched the app or not.
