  • Snaps suck, but I haven’t found flatpaks to be much better. I’ve also found Ubuntu to be really unstable recently fwiw. It’s really annoying how hard they’re pushing snaps, to the point it’s basically impossible to get away from them. I’d recommend Fedora or Endeavor instead. I’ve run Endeavor for years now without a hitch, but many of my machines are on NixOS now.


  • The problem is the Gnome team doesn’t give a flying rat’s ass about maintaining a stable api. I’ve never bothered with extensions because even the most basic stuff only works for one or two versions. The neovim team is pretty committed to backwards compatibility and following standards for interoperability like LSP these days, so it’s much easier for third parties to maintain a large set of extended functionality at this point. If they acted like the gnome team, your status bar plugin would break every other update.
