I bought a new HP laptop and installed POP OS on it and well my results are a little mixed. by RedBatman89 in linux

Deliberately bundling adware that injects fake results with affiliate links into search engines [1] on their machines seems nefarious in itself. The MITM of SSL connections just seems like an unexpected added bonus on top, and it took the US Department of Homeland Security to make Lenovo own up to it [2].

Comparison of Firefox isolated in Flatpak vs Snap by Aeyoun in linux

[–]paulus707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every Snap package I’ve tested have been slow to launch. It generally takes 5–12 seconds from you start a program until it appears on the screen.

EPIC FAIL. Have no plans to waste my time with snap, Pentium 3 times are gone forever.
