    I will never understand this controversial stupidity, why people can not use what they want and this without having “prejudice”?

      The thing about Ubuntu and snaps is that they are pushing it and “forcing” its users to use it.

      You can uninstall it using sudo apt remove snapd but if you then try to install eg. firefox using sudo apt install firefox — voilà! — snapd is back.

        Not sure how they are forcing their users to use snaps any more than debian is forcing their users to use apt. It’s a package manager the distro is consciously supporting. If you don’t like snaps then you should probably just stop using Ubuntu.

        Yes, I agreeing that symlinking sunsetted apt packages to install the snap version without prior notification is a bit underhanded: I can see they want to make the switch easy for casual users, but the transparency isn’t there for advanced users. I still think it’s a fine distro for newer and casual users.

      The comic is depicting someone who doesn’t want to use snaps then being upset when they run into snaps after choosing a disto that is known for snaps. The comic is not making fun of people who like or dislike snaps, it’s making fun of people who dislike snaps but then choose to use a disto with snaps.
