admittedly it's been a couple years since I last used Ubuntu, and it may have gotten better in that time
I was talking about the AUR
see my first response. I remembered Ubuntu occasionally doing what Windows does and forcing a reboot, then spinning for 10-15m doing god knows what. Glad to hear they've fixed that
as for the last one I was talking about the fact that Canonical is willing to do that in the first place. It's not the snap itself, it's the fact that I told it to install a native package and it decided for me what I wanted. Shit like that is why I left Windows behind. "You don't really want to set your default browser to something other than Edge, do you?"
Tha aur is cheating, it's basically a script to install the correct dependancies. It's also not integrated natively into pacman so it's not related to the package manager itself.
Ok I understand what you mean for your last point
