The issue so far is that the output of "mount" is cluttered by an annoying amount of entries not of any use to my daily routines with "mount".
As snapd is now somewhat in a testing phase, and on long term considered to replace a large amount of apt packages I guess, this list would grow on. Also some snapd applications seem to grow mount entries on updates, eg. they have multiple overlays mounted for the same application. Applications 'installed' on a Linux system ususally clutter the mass storage filesystem and, for desktop applications, the launcher panes / menus. This sounds feasable. Applications that are not used (never or rarely run) conquer no system ressources despite hard disk space and launcher icons (for desktop apps). Now, in a more and more snapd-based world, never used applications conquer memory, mounted fs enumaration time, startup time, filter time for all users of 'mount' output (including precious human mind ressources), etc. This is a way back the MS Windows style where almost every installed application impairs the system in some other place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805468 Title: Snap mounts bloat system footprint by inactive apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1805468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
