@governa That article seems to be a lot of fluff to barely mention that malware can be uploaded onto the snap repository (who would have thought) with the same name as free software not in the apt repo and then have apt recommend the malware for installation.

Snap really wouldn't have such issue if proprietary malware wasn't allowed in the repositories and uploaders had to provide the source code, for checking by a maintainer, which is then compiled and made available, but alas snap welcomes proprietay malware like discord into the repo.
