    I don’t get the anger. Just install your software as snaps. What’s the problem?

      I’ve seen a video where the guy installed steam on Ubuntu 24.04. Of course it was the snap. The guy usually tests distro to see of it’s easy to game on it. If the drivers are easy to install, etc…

      He usually launches steam, then tests Valheim, Overwatch, Tomb Raider and cyberpunk.

      Overwatch didn’t launch, cyberpunk neither. Valheim reported that a service didn’t launch. Tomb raider was OK.

      Then he uninstalled the steam snap and installed the .deb one. Everything worked.

      Enforcing packages is already something that people don’t appreciate on Linux, enforcing packages that don’t work is surprisingly hated.

      Ubuntu is supposed to be a distro for beginners, how am I supposed to recommand a distro when I have no confidence the applications will work ?
