Actually, the better question is: When will they replace most desktop Linux programs?

Can't tell how's snap today. I refused to use it when snap vlc couldn't access an external drive, and it wasn't by mistake, snap couldn't (and I'm nos sure if it can today) access external drives. I looked how to fix it and apparently canonical knew it and was ok with that, they said it was a feature of snap packages so, bye bye ubuntu, hello manjaro (back then, now I use debian)
