At those times I swear, I have a knack for avoiding problems before they appear.
Some years ago I migrated from Ubuntu to Debian. It was due to something silly, like defaults. Then I got pissed with Debian Stable, went to Testing, got pissed again… and for some reason instead of going back to Ubuntu I gave Mint a try.
Then people started talking about snaps a lot, and I gave them a try in Mint. This was in a potato computer so I could clearly notice how slow they were to start. Nope.
Then Ubuntu started forcing them every where, but by then I could simply say “Not My Problem®”. Mint maintainers are clearly against snaps, and I’m happy with it.
Glad to see Õunapuu also found a way to handle the problem by changing distros. I’m too deep into the APT rabbit hole to get used to Fedora, but it seems like a good choice regardless.
Maybe fed will pick up apt4rpm again like they were flirting with when conectiva was using it.
Come to think of it, I think mandriva kept that from cnc when it joined that and mandrake. That means mageia and PCLinuxOS may use it.
Apt is so much better than fucking DNF (aka Did Not Finish).
Anyway, those may be candidates if you’re ever looking to try apt commands under RPM. And I think PCLOS is also the only ‘rolling’ RPM distro, which sets it apart that way too. With a heavy leverage of Alternatives, it seems to be doing stack disco better than redhat’s hack for that too. Three birds, one stone.
