Silly whataboutism. When there are multiple Linux package management solutions to choose from that are functional, decentralized, and fully FOSS, including ones that work across distros, switching to the proprietary Canonical-controlled Snap Store is moving backward for no good reason.
That’s not the worst possible scenario, I’d love to see the Snap Store completely replaced with decentralized FOSS alternatives. Any scenario in which the Snap Store takes market share from decentralized FOSS alternatives is considerably worse.
Also, who said I wouldn’t use proprietary apps? I refuse to use Snap because Flatpak and other FOSS application packaging solutions that aren’t locked to a store controlled by a single for-profit company already serve my needs. I don’t have any objection to using proprietary apps that don’t have alternatives that meet my needs.
