VLC - Fails to Exit
-
This is basically an issue mostly with the VLC (Video Lan Client) 3.0.11 Vetinari downloaded through Snap.
When I terminate the player, the program remains resident in VM memory to roughly 1 GB. I cannot recommend the download of VLC with Snap as long as they host this version. I plan to try the VLC 4.0 but this is the dev package. There is nothing wrong with the Parole player, as the default media player. I just use some of the "extra features" of VLC. However I sure don't need it swallowing 1 GB of memory on a 4 GB machine.

I agree with you there. I like using my old "sudo apt install ..." above everything else. I know you made this to be a light weight distro, but you never know what any user will do after it is in their hands. I removed the VLC for now.
I originally started with Kubuntu after leaving Windows. After they introduce Plasma 5 with more "bells and whistles" I no longer cared for the K desktop environment. I was using the Kubuntu while I experimented on the side with Openbox. I was surfing various Openbox distros and found LXLE. This is very well done. -
Side Topic: Snap eating HDD space.
I did more research on the snap application. While it avoids messy dependency errors, it really chews up drive space. I did an install of a small game.
Using; snap install hedgewars
This also installed a core18 and a KDE frame work. Total 2 GB.
Using; apt install hedgewarsNeed to get 158 MB of archives.After this operation, 202 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Hmmm.... 2 GB for a tiny 202 MB game? lol -
