"Snap apps also open slower than my front door does to the postman at 7 AM."

This made me lol. But is it true, though?

Well, yes, it is true. And also the part about them being ugly. At least with VLC, which I just tested after its snap was reccommended by Ubuntu themselves over on birdsite. Not good.

Ok, seems like it was just the first boot that was slow. Restarting it has been fast enough almost every time. Still looks terrible, though.

@forteller Ubuntu is slow and awful, news at 11, additionally you may be surprised to know the sky is blue.

@maiyannah Well, as I said it was VLC installed as a snap that was slow to start and ugly, not Ubuntu. And it was only slow the first time I started it after installing. I've been quite happy with Ubuntu/Ubuntu Gnome since I started using it more than ten years ago
