Snap Store

[Brian Sturgill]

It turns out that, while snapd, etc. are open source.
The protocols of the snap store are proprietary.

This does not hold true for flatpak or appimage.

Having seen what the Apple and Google stores did to mobile (really mobile
software is a
total mess), I really don't want to be supporting snaps.

I used to use Linux Mint, but I got tired of having to upgrade from scratch
to get major releases
(and Ubuntu had a Mate fork come out).
Linux Mint now has upgrade paths... I may switch back.
