Operating System Wars, what is the best operating system for programming. ⚔️
Back in the day, I used snapd, which is similar to Mac's Homebrew.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

Setting Up for Java on Linux.
My personal favourite IDE for java is Intellej Idea. Apart from not demanding the extra extension, It was designed special for Java and Java related languages so it runs java smoothly with great compilation time. so lets install it. Make sure you have snap before installing it

Why is Linux so hard and anti GUI?
Linux Mints App Store is full of GUI programs, Snap Store ist full of it, Flathub is full of it.

This might seem dumb but where tf does snap put the actual files and stuff?
You are being lazy. But I recommend bringing your ass directly to snapcraft.io and reading those documents in the Learn section!!

[seriously] Why do people hate snaps?

Flutter 3 on Devuan 4: Getting started
Besides, there may be other ways to install them, although there doesn't seem no such Flatpak packages in Flathub. For example, some senerio to use some release channel or Docker / Podman. Additionally, when you use a different Linux distro where systemd is adopted and therefore can do Snaps (Snapd), you have another possibility.

I think I may have just managed to piss off the whole community...
https://github.com/canonical/snapcraft.io please, stop spreading misinformation about snaps...
-
snap... please die a slow and painful death
Don't like the "proprietarity" of snapcraft? OK, discard it and put flatpak. It will never be banned by Ubuntu. And yes, snapcraft.io available on github.

RSS feeds for updated and new Snap packages?
Probably not, since a feature request for this has been open since 2018.
-
is the software for the server of https://snapcraft.io/ closed or open source?
snapcraft.io - the frontend website, is open source - https://github.com/canonical/snapcraft.io
- what are the advantages and disadvantages of snaps?
-
I've got karma to burn so why not?
What is the server code other than "something that distributes a .snap file"? Given that I can, if I want, take a .snap file to an airgapped machine and install it, it appears pretty trivial to offer alternatives to Canonical's infrastructure if anyone were particularly interested.
- Strong support for Snap, Ubuntu Core at Canonical conference
-
what's really important
Snap store - aka snapcraft.io is already open-sourced under GPLv3., see here. Perhaps, you mean not that the code is closed-source but that Canonical won't relinquish any control to the community and will continue to enforce the snap ecosystem as an Apple-style walled-garden? If so, then I completely agree with that assessment. That IMHO is the core of what makes snap an inferior choice for the community.

bro imagine being this bad, Canonical
snapcraft.io (e.g. snap store) has commits going back to Aug 16, 2017. Repo has GPLv3 license.

Delicious Pie!
IMO this is mostly due to higher-ups at Canonical no longer giving a fuck about desktop, less so for the boots on the ground. Wimpress and Pope both left Ubuntu and I don't remember which one said it but one of the 2 had a tweet basically saying as much. But even without that, snaps have been around since at least Dec 11, 2014 and likely even earlier than that. But despite being around for over 8 years, there's still a bunch of common complaints and probably about 30-40% don't sound like they'd take a big company more than 6-12 months to address if they actually worked on it. Things like submitting a patch to the util-linux project to make cli tools like mount/blkid/lsblk/fdisk to make loop devices not be displayed by default (after all they effectively only "break" when snap is installed), following normal dot-prefix conventions in the $HOME folder, adding 1st party support for 3rd party repos (given the nature of FOSS, couldn't they even borrow the logic from flatpak?), adding optimizations to consume less disk space in the majority of scenarios. (I would say to also make snapcraft.io open-source, but after seeing this repo, it appears that common complaint may be off-base)
