Here’s one example

If only I could remember to set status=progress…

I always end up using killall -USR1 from another terminal

• Armour class: Apparmor (common)
  • App confinement (+1 defence against app security issues)
• Glamour: Breezy plasma (common)
• Jewellery: Snappy apps (common)
  • Rolling release apps with a stable base
  • Ability to use multiple versions of any snappy app simultaneously

Roughly the quality of KDE 4.1

There’s no Snap, which some will see as a win, but there is Flatpak

You heard it here first, folks! Uninstall Snap and install Flatpak to make your distro more like Windows!

You said Snap is a similar but alternative to Flatpak, implying that it was developed in response to Flatpak, which simply isn’t the case.

Snap predates Flatpak, and it’s clearly a big money maker for Canonical with their commercial customers who want things like confined but upgradable services in an airgapped environment. By the time Flatpak was making enough headway to be considered feasible to use, snaps were already pretty widely used and had several fairly big names like JetBrains, ROS and CircleCI publishing on snapcraft.io.

Flatpak cannot and was never intended to do all the things snap can, such as setting up system services or distributing kernels. So even if the assertion that snaps for desktop apps were a response to Flatpak were true (it’s not), it doesn’t make sense for Canonical to stop developing snap regardless, as desktop apps are only a tiny part of what snaps do.

Snaps predate flatpaks (though not by very long - months I think, but not years).

Upstart predated systemd by quite a while. In fact, RHEL 6 used upstart.

If anything, systemd is an example of Red Hat NIHing upstart.

It uses gnome. That’s why I use Kubuntu instead.

Other people have issues with snap packages, however I’m quite the opposite and actually tend to prefer snaps over other means of getting apps.

If macos is Wario, surely iOS is waluigi?
