my reasons for not liking snaps are a bit more pragmatic. Firstly, snaps are space hogs. One of the reasons why I switched to Linux is because Windows can get bloated really quickly. My Windows installation—with all the apps I use—was around 100 GB. On Linux, with the same apps inst...
Over time, I found myself working largely in the terminal. I used iTerm2 and theHomebrewpackage manager. I couldn't get all my Linux software to work, but much of it did. I thought I had the best of both worlds: the macOS graphical operating system and user interface alongside the abi...
