I’m very beginner of Linux server admin. Few days ago I set up snap version of nextcloud server app on my own Ubuntu VPS server, and I found that Snap system might be focused to build original file system hierarchy in /snap directory, and I felt a little weird about that.

For example, Linux file system hierarchy is defined to set server app config into /etc/app/conf.d or so.
But snap version app tend to set it into /snap/app/current/app/config or so.
It sounds so complicated for me.

So I want to know about how Snap is thought by others. I’m happy if you might tell me something here.

    People always complain about “dependency hell” with apt, but I’ve always found it to be the perfect solution

      Me too, you just need to avoid installing packages from repos that are not for your distribution. And live with the package versions until the next release is ready
