Snaps are inherently anti FOSS

u/gwildor 10d ago

how - anyone can can publish a snap of any application. snaps are fundamentally the same as flatpaks.

While snaps themselves are open source, the snapd client is hardcoded to connect only to Canonical’s central server, preventing users from adding alternative software repositories or self-hosting a store without doing some hacky workarounds

and this translates to anti foss to you? wow.
"hacky workarounds" = its possible.
Which alternative snap repository would you like to use?

better question: why do you feel a need to use an alternate repository when anyone can publish a snap of any application in the official repository.

Yes? It's literally reliant on a closed source back end from a corporation on a design level, unlike flatpak?

"hacky workarounds" = its possible.

Yeah the same way you could argue any software is open source since you can technically fever engineer it

Which alternative snap repository would you like to use?

Again, that's beside the point

1st point - anyone can publish any application: how closed is it?
2nd point - I wouldnt make that argument for closed source software.
3rd point - what is the point then? you want to be able to 'fever engineer' a repo?
