      Snaps promise to do some really cool things. They just are a bitch to use and they are slow and tied too heavily to canonical.

      Weren’t you supposed to be able to snap in and out a kernel by now? Like, not even needing a reboot?

      I haven’t been a Ubuntu guy in a long time, but Canonical consistently designs the best wallpapers for their releases.

      Yup I run LMDE on Desktop (or “LMAE” Arch) and Debian on servers since they made it annoying to rip out snaps. I’m not interested in making a distro something it is not, so just use something else.

    I read that “Prickly muffin” and now I’m debating on whether I should or should not watch Bojack Horseman again
