In the moderator discussion with this user, the moderators also advised the user to remove a trans pride flag from their profile pic. This was a mistake and we apologize for that.

    Just here to add that, yes, Snaps are very broken. Do not use them if you value your time or well-being.

And they keep Snapifying more of their distro, so even things like GNOME packages are only available as Snaps.
