    I don’t know anything about this hack because I just heard of it, but I look forward to finding out how it’s actually much worse than meets the eye. I know this is how it will end because this is how every deep dive into snap issues ends.

      It this schadenfreude because you hate Canonical and their Snap system?

        I left Ubuntu after they apt install firefox became a hidden alias to snap install firefox. Every time Canonical does something worse, I’m reassured I made a good choice.
