| Chunkyz | We can't talk about how bad snap is in #ubuntu so thought I'd join here :-) can anyone tell me the benefits to using a snap "chromium" or "firefox" apart from slower opening times? | 22:38 |
| Ravage | mostly less work for the maintainer | 22:39 |
| Jeremy31 | Chunkyz: The advantage I see for snaps is for the devs, | 22:39 |
| Jeremy31 | One package fits all | 22:39 |
| tomreyn | the effectively faster time to patch is a relevant advantage to the user, too. | 22:40 |
| leftyfb | also being more secure and cross-platform | 22:40 |
| oerheks | slower opening times only happens at the first use, it checks for updates. | 22:40 |
| tomreyn | s/faster/shorter/ | 22:41 |
| oerheks | it is a promise from the firefox team. | 22:41 |
| oerheks | yw | 22:41 |
| Ravage | i will give the firefox snap another try as soon as i can manage my gnome extenstions with it | 22:41 |
| Chunkyz | oerheks: yeah but say you're on a rpi4, the load time can be a while | 22:41 |
| Chunkyz | I don't see the point in it for the 'average' user but if it's easier for the devs to update, then..... | 22:41 |
| tomreyn | sandboxing out of the box would be the other security benefit | 22:41 |
| Chunkyz | I mean, if you're that worried, unplug your modem/router | 22:42 |
| oerheks | There is 1 solution .... | 22:42 |
| oerheks | run updates after boot :-) | 22:42 |
| leftyfb | Chunkyz: you have your own personal opinions. Nobody here is going to convince you either way | 22:43 |
| Chunkyz | oerheks: I have a script for updating, that's not the issue. the issue is on slower 'devices' the intial opening time, rebooting etc it takes ages. just let me browse :-D | 22:44 |
