| lotuspsychje | good morning | 02:41 |
|---|---|---|
| lotuspsychje | start a topic here plujon | 03:16 |
| plujon | I just asked in #ubuntu: Why is chromium a snap in the first place? | 03:17 |
| lotuspsychje | evolution chosen for devs liking the snap way | 03:17 |
| lotuspsychje | a LOT of snaps are coming our way | 03:18 |
| plujon | If a lot of snaps come our way, won't that require a lot more physical memory? | 03:19 |
| lotuspsychje | plujon: the start of chromium snap had some rough ways, but it actually improved a lot on 20.04 now | 03:20 |
| lotuspsychje | rocketfast on my side, cant say it lags my system memory-wise | 03:20 |
| plujon | I'm using 20.04, first time using chromium as a snap, and it is broken in a few ways for me. That's why I started asking. I'm considering leaving ubuntu over it. | 03:21 |
| lotuspsychje | broken how | 03:21 |
| plujon | Broken like I can no longer sign extensions. Broken like native messaging no longer works. | 03:22 |
| lotuspsychje | plujon: did you browse the latest bugs on chromium? | 03:22 |
| plujon | bugs on chromium? Do you mean ubuntu bugs? | 03:23 |
| lotuspsychje | plujon: if you use ubuntu, yeah chromium bugs are ubuntu related | 03:24 |
| plujon | The only ubuntu/chromium/snap bug I looked at indicated there was no resolution planned for the breakage; just a number of people complaining about it. It was reported quite a long time ago. | 03:24 |
| lotuspsychje | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bugs?field.tag=snap&orderby=importance&start=0 | 03:24 |
| lotuspsychje | check if you affect relevant bugs for your cases before complaining please | 03:24 |
| plujon | Check if I affect relevant bugs? | 03:25 |
| lotuspsychje | plujon: yes, you just said you have 'broken' issues on chromium | 03:25 |
| plujon | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1741074 is one of the breakages | 03:26 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1741074 in chromium-browser (Ubuntu) "[snap] chrome-gnome-shell extension fails to detect native host connector" [Medium,Triaged] | 03:26 |
| lotuspsychje | plujon: ok, then help the community, and 'affect' to the bug in the left upper corner | 03:26 |
| lotuspsychje | as part of the community you can influence/help | 03:27 |
| plujon | How is a snap different from or better than static linking? | 03:44 |
| plujon | Well, obviously, it is different in a number of technical ways, but big picture, why not just statically link most of the problematic dependencies? | 03:45 |
| lotuspsychje | plujon: you would have to discuss with some devs about that | 03:53 |
| plujon | Apparently brave-browser, OTOH, is not a snap. I guess I'll be using that. | 04:13 |
| lotuspsychje | brave was a snap before, but they seemed to remove it | 04:15 |
