Linux Mint doesn't use snaps by default

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it doesn't even come with snap installed. Idk why you're getting downvoted

Me neither, that was the whole point of the parent comment about using Mint.

Maybe some people are worried that eventually snaps will be so ingrained into Ubuntu that it'll be too difficult for derivatives to remove?

NixOS, but yeah

Yeah, you have to remove an apt preference to be able to install Snap https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/snap.html

the devs seem pretty against it.
