Hate Snaps? LOL! How About Now?
Channel: DistroTube
Date: 2021-10-08

One of the main complaints from the Snap haters is that there is only one Snap Store and it is run by Canonical.  Well...not anymore.  In this video I will introduce 'lol', an open-source alternative to snap that uses its own snap server 'lol-server' which is separate from the official Snap Store.  And you could fork 'lol-server' to create your own Snap server if you so choose.

ERRATA:
BTW, the command "./lol refresh lol" did place 'lol' in the PATH (/snap/bin/lol) so simply typing 'lol' without the './' should work after that.
