Anyone using the Snap version of Keepass XC?

[jglen490]

I agree that containers have their place. Containierizing for the sake of the concept, and without a plan, is not a useful design tenet.

I'm running KDE Neon. As a rolling system built on a semi-archaic base, contanerized apps do have their place. To me, it allows me to run Neon at trhe peak of my ability to do so, and have the best of both worlds, so to speak.

I don't use Snaps or Flats on my system either. I'm not against "containers"; we use them on the system I work with, but where every little app has it's own container without regard to duplication of the supporting cast of libraries, it's not efficient. Bigger, faster, cheaper - pick two.

I have it installed from the PPA with no problems on KDE Neon. I will not have Snaps or Flatpacks on my system!

Were you shaking your fist at the clouds when you typed that?

No, I was typing with one hand a holding a beer in the other. ��

I just don't like the idea of Flatpacks and Snaps.

There was also a time when the first thing I'd do after a fresh install was to purge Mono. ��

Now excuse me while I go back to bed and continue my dream about socks... ��

And your point?

And then, those few who say: "I will have no system on my PC that didn't originate from the divine Penguin via the aether."

Hehe,

I am reminded of a time (even today) where people would scream: "I will have no third party sources on my system!!!!"

I am also reminded of a time (even today) where people would scream: "I will have no PPAs on my system!!!!"

And of course, if one goes back far enough (and even today), where people would scream: "I will have no software on my system that I did not compile myself!!!!"

I've been running that Snap version for a long time with no issues at all. Because it's a security app, being up to date (as well as running in a sandbox) are both good things. The Snap version also plays nice with the Firefox extension, in case you were wondering.

If one has to choose between a snap and a ppa, and one isn't short on resources, snaps may be preferable because of the "containment". With ppas, it's just possible that newer versions of dependencies may not play well with existing software. I can't give examples to justify this fear but maybe someone else can

OK thanks. But getting off topic why am I not getting any email notifications from this thread?
