The title is a quote from Mastodon. I’ve always seen dislike towards snap so I was taken back when I saw this stance. The person who wrote this was referring to Tuxedo Laptops.
I don't have a problem with companies bundling whatever packages they want on their distro.
The difference comes when they actively block installation (just like Mint does). That is what is anti-consumer. It adds confusion to users as they have to go and find out what random file in /etc/ needs to be edited or removed, just to install some software. It's stupid.
You may disagree, that's fine. It's okay to not like things.
Btw i dislike Ubuntu in general and snaps in particular.
I have been following the thread on Mastodon but wanted the opinion of others (on Lemmy). I engaged with the OP to try and understand their perspective on this as well.
