I heard that Mint doesn’t enable SNAP by default. Do you know if that is true? I’m using Kubuntu as of the reload I had to do because of a drive failure. I do not like snap doing app upgrades silently and other things. Might have to switch to Mint with XFCE.
“I heard that Mint doesn’t enable SNAP by default.”
Yep, And they disassociated from it for the same reasons you mention. They also had a problem with the security issues with it being perpetually tied to SNAP services in the background, it is a risk they want no part of. They are still allowing direct Flatpacks though. And as you know almost everything that is available for SNAP is also available as a Flatpack.
Want to hear one of the oddest complaints I have heard from those who have used Ubuntu and other Ubuntu based Distros after they install Mint?
“I don’t like the panel being on the bottom.”
Well so right click it and move it where you want it. You can move it to top bottom or along either side. Instead they dismiss the Mint altogether just because the panel is on the bottom by default. lol
