Core applications (such as gnome apps) should not be snaps. This defies the point in my opinion, they are already secure and built with the system. Unless you make the whole environment a snap stop doing this.
The biggest problem I have with snaps are the constant audit denied messages. There should be a mode to easy allow a trusted app do whatever it wants rather than deal with endless sandbox tweaking . This is not the job for the end user. I know this is bad security but the packagers don’t seem to do a proper job.
On the favorite apps bar. On 21.10 the icon wiggle occasionally when they want attention can we have permanent indicator as well.
Please ensure the software store doesn’t blow up in memory when it isn’t being used.
