[arch-general] snapcraft.io IMO gets across the message that snaps are appropriate for Arch Linux

I'm very happy for you, but what is your point? Your membership in their
community does not get to define the overall mission statement of their
community. If you think otherwise, that is sheer arrogance.

And that is apparently changing, according to Ubuntu devs. The argument
that "this is how it works right now", is not a convincing argument.

The only thing that matters for them is, what unsolvable issues are
there, *that Ubuntu cares about* ?
Your main issue seems to be that Linux users should care more than Mac
users about their OS internals.

Given that the target Ubuntu userbase is people who would otherwise be
using Macbooks, I really don't see where you are coming from at all.
Much like I don't see where they are coming from, thinking that other
distros want, like Ubuntu, to appeal to Mac users via snapcraft.

It is very on topic for this list. Or at least, this thread. I am
exploring the reasons why you spammed this list by starting this thread.

Also, I am correcting the wrong statements you made about the supposed
"wrong statements" you were correcting. Only about half of them were wrong.

You misused their list. You are currently misusing this list.

Even where I agree with you, I disagree with the way you go about saying
it. So please, just stop.
