This is indeed the case.  You can't bring up your own snap server.

Snaps are anti-free-software.  I much prefer flatpaks, but rarely
use even those.

Between Fedora and Ubuntu I have some of each. For example Brave exists 
both as a snap and a flatpak. They both work and are both a 1.77.100. VS 
Code is a deb on Raspberry Pi OS, a rpm on Fedora, and a snap on Ubuntu. 
They're all 1.93.3 and work (although I did have to drop back from the Pi 
5 kernel optimizations). I have some things that are Appimages on Ubuntu 
and flatpaks on Fedora like the Arduino IDE v2. Same version, both work.

Seeing a thread here? I really don't care how it happens as long as it 
does on all my Linus and Windows boxes. I only get upset when it doesn't 
work. For example Raspberry Pi OS uses a GNOME 2 fork and I can't find a 
gVim that works. My work Debian box is 32 bit, and there is no 32 bit VS 
Code.

I only ever used two Flatpak programs.  One was an authenticator program
that gave you the 6 MFA digit codes.  It needed to install 10s or 100s
of megabytes of Flatpak dependencies for a basic GUI.  I found a <100k
CLI program and a script frontend that did the same thing, so I switched.

The only other was Signal for Fedora, but that didn't even work.

A lot of people also use their phones to type everything, despite it
being a poor input device.  But to each their own I suppose.  I hated
GNOME 3, moreso because it supplanted GNOME 2, which supplanted GNOME 1.
GNOME 1, or 1.2 or 1.4 or whatever it was I was using with RedHat 7.3
was pretty cool.  But they felt they should change my Desktop according
to their vision, so I left.

That's why I think it's a plus, not a minus, to have many multiple Linux 
distributions. No one company can control Linux's future.

So true.

The appalling lack of choice among the distros is one reason
(but certainly not the only reason) that I decided to roll my
own distro.

They are lazy, undedicated fucks that just want to bask in the limelight
of being a "progressive" GNU/Linux developer.

GNU/Linux/FOSS is all about choice, but when systemd came along these
lazy fucks did not desire to take upon their lame selves the job of
offering choice.  Rather, they took the path of least resistance and
the path of most glamour.

The same now applies to Wayland.

Only Gentoo and Linux From Scratch (LFS) offer choice.  Those developers
should be lauded to the highest extent.

I stopped using Fedora when they were removing code from openssl for which
they claimed they weren't sure about a patent incumberance.

It wasn't just flags in the SRPM that disabled elliptical-curve crypto,
they actually took the code for ECC out of openssl.

I jumped ship to Linux Mint, and I'm much happier for it.

 From what he wrote above, I would imagine that it is because Clément 
Lefebvre of Linux Mint doesn't remove code from openssl for made-up reasons.

Because when I realized Red Hat was telling the Fedora maintainers
to remove code from openssl, that Fedora wasn't the kind of distro
I wanted to run.

I was also tired of using rpmfusion to supplement what was missing
from Fedora -- little things, like being able to play mp3's.

The closest I've gotten to Fedora since then was to boot a live
version of Nobara, which was disastrous.  Linux Mint "just works".

Correction:  I still have an old server running Fedora.  But I'm planning
to decommission it, and I already have the new hardware for it, a
newer SuperMicro SuperServer.

Every open-source project lives or dies, not by its popularity among some 
number of passive users, but by the activity of the community that 
contributes back to it.

Linux Mint is doing well because of that activity.

I haven't used Fedora enough to see much breakage, but the laptop I (was) 
running it on is pretty generic. I don't like the constant updates either. 
Never really needed "cutting edge."
