Like how one can easily not use snap on Ubuntu? /s

i mean, i use ubuntu on multiple personal devices that i use daily and like <1% of the packages installed are managed with snap, and to me, it isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

the point i was trying to make was that it is much harder to replace things like .net / powershell in windows for simple cli workflows.

in linux, you can just drop the executable you want to use in your path. so, gnu coreutils will build on pretty much anything you need them to, and are very stable. it is <5m of effort to build it and swap the executable / lib in your path.

also, as mentioned here, ubuntu will allow you to select which package you want to install from the normal repos, so you don't even need to do that.
