  • shall i install snapd

    From Bitfox@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 11 03:40:02 2024
    I am just not sure, should I install snapd on debian 12 for package
    management? or just use apt for everything?

    I found that there are some apps like certbot and the latest ruby are
    installed by snapd only by default.

    Thank you.

    Last time I looked cerbot on Debian 12 was installed with apt e.g.

    sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache

    There are alternative Let's Encrypt implementations, too. I'm using
    the "dehydrated" package, which is also available in Debian's
    standard package repositories.

    In any case, there's no need to use Snap or Flatpak for this.

    As regards snap, my personal opinion is it is evilware and I refuse to use it.

    I would certainly have to be given an *extremely* good reason to
    consider using it.
