I see people hate snap packaging and removing it if their OS support it. Is it because it’s NOT fully open-source or just due to how the technology works?

Update: fixed typos

    Because I can’t dismiss the Firefox update notification, no matter how many times I update it.

    I’ve had to reboot every time.

    Which, way to go you’ve reimplemented windows xp era updates.

      Stop the app and run “snap refresh” and it should update anything that’s queued

        yes, I did kill the process and update the image though snap.

        this did nothing to remove the update notification that cannot be dismissed without rebooting.
