[02:47] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[22:38] <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?
[22:39] <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
[22:40] <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.
[22:41] <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
[22:42] <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 :-)
[22:43] <leftyfb> Chunkyz: you have your own personal opinions. Nobody here is going to convince you either way
[22:44] <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
