“Canonical only having snap releases was harmful to adoption. I liked using lxd, but uninstalled snapd (forgetting lxd used it), and my vms obviously stopped. Snap wouldn’t reinstall properly (various inscrutable errors), so I moved it all over to libvirt. I’d still be happily using lxd if it weren’t for Canonical’s snap-pushing. That’s my anecdote of one.”

(I’m not mkj so…, but I think most users are quite against enforcement of snapd)

    How Canonical seems to keep doubling down on snaps despite large push back from the community reminds me of Reddit’s API change. I didn’t see an end in sight, which is what pushed me to Fedora.
