Re: Apparently snaps are insecure as hell
When using X11, Snaps do not provide much *additional* security, which means they are almost (but not quite) as insecure as installing the same software through apt-get, .tgz, self-compiling, or any other means.
Snaps do not introduce more risk, they just don't magically solve all your security issues as long as you keep using X11. When not using X11, the sandboxing provided by Snaps does make them a lot more secure than traditional installation methods.
It's amazing how that analysis was misinterpreted and turned into complete and utter FUD.
