Remove, Snap. -- WHY?

Canonical Ubuntu's Snap has hosted more scam apps than Microsoft Store, Apple Store, Google Play Store, or Flatpak. -- Let that sink in.

If you're a Linux user, use Flatpak. Do not use or trust Snap. Ubuntu refuses to conduct proper reviews, and it's getting scary. Do not trust Snaps.

::: Ubuntu takes CUPS printing stack to a single handy Snap :ubuntu:

This concerns specifically the non-IPP-driverless printers.

"Snapping" apps like this are apparently good for LTS releases for continuity & stability - Snap packaging has lately matured in a rapid manner.

CUPS as Snap already available => https://snapcraft.io/cups

Listen all about it from Till Kamppeter - the OpenPrinting project leader

Since I made a new account here, its time for a new introduction.
I like writing and I am working on a book series, I love reading too, you can find more about that on my BoomWyrm account @peterkal.

I want to become an app developer, and I have started learning #flutter for a couple of months, I've also made a simple password generator that's available on #SnapStore, which I am pretty proud of, called 'Passie'.

I love constructive discussions and I am very into politics.
I am fascinated about the idea of Fediverse and i think it's design is more democratically-friendly.
