I tried a snap package on my pop-os system once & it poo'ed folders all over my system, then didn't actually uninstall when I uninstalled it.
No thank you.
-
thats the thing with snaps: they go all over the place on your system, so even if you uninstall it (which itself is a tiring and cumbersome task at times!), they magically stay everywhere on the systems, with tons of folders and files.
-
I thought contained snaps can only install into /snap directories.
-
install yes, but there are tons of other files and folders that get created, IIRC even pseudo-users or something along those lines? (or that was distro-specific perhaps)
-
You mean like the program itself is creating files? The issue would be the same whether apt or snap is used, in this case.
-
never had a problem with other programs leaking out on the system after being properly uninstalled except snap
