Automatically connect eligible plugs and slots of snap "gnome-calculator" $ sudo du -sh /snap 489M /snap/ If you run the calculator, then this happens: $ sudo du -sh /snap/ 1.1G /snap/ Is this really lighter than installing it with apt-get? $ apt-cache --no-all-versions show gnome-calculator | grep '^Size: ' Size: 253432 Unless I am very much mistaken, those are bytes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575053 Title: Please move the "$HOME/snap" directory to a less obtrusive location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1575053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
