Today I had the need to use one of those new-fangled "snap" packages that I've managed to avoid so far. Well, now I have the need to bang my head into the wall -- because it didn't fail because of that thing not checking whether SElinux is even enabled, not because it expects a specific DBus configuration nothing else ever needed, but because IT CANNOT COPE WITH MY HOME DIR NOT BEING UNDER /home.

That's a new one, but I don't use snaps

Holy crap, that's a bad failure mode

Snap so much seems like package management *by* people who don't want to manage packages

@silverwizard It seems like kiddos who want to use all the newest shiniest features and completely ignore the booooring stuff like /home. Also, that "now you have n+1 standards" xkcd. But, alas, I'd rather not compile a bleeding edge FreeCAD branch if I can avoid it, and I have a model that's broken in the builds I have...

Yeah, I get it, but I don't understand the sense of anti-packaging people have developed

Rather than one working system with a few older pieces, lots of broken systems rattling along

Apart from the fact, that snap/flatpack/... is br0ken by design, it's obviously poorly implemented.

Poettering, was it you again?
