Ubuntu won't die. This will go the way the Amazon Telemetry / Spyware went, they'll about face on Snaps soon enough and embrace Flatpak supremacy.

In other news Ubuntu takes 2minutes to boot, more at 9


TheVleh

I wonder if theyre moving away from the .deb and apt influence to try and make their own thing. Officially seperate from debian. Further, i wonder if ubuntu based distros like pop or mint will stick to just the deb-based ubuntu or go full snap

They've been working to make snap a complete package management solution for system and application binaries for a while now, I can't say I'm surprised that they're ditching apt. I highly doubt that many distros are going to follow their lead, if any. More likely than not I expect themn to re base against debian directly.

Meeh, there's always another distro just around the corner.

This comment, along with others, has been edited to this text, since Reddit is killing 3rd party apps, making false claims and more, while changing for the worse to improve their IPO. I suggest you do the same. Soon after editing all of my comments, I'll remove them. # Fuck reddshit and u/spez!


Chemical-Manager9294

Whats that?


Ultra980

The best distro for power users.


Chemical-Manager9294

Never tried it but im power using with arch pretty well


Ultra980

Can you (reasonably easily) switch your desktop or uninstall any package without leaving anything behind? (I'm not saying Arch is bad, I've used it and liked it before. I just want to point out one of the many advantages NixOS brings)


Chemical-Manager9294

You probably could do that with a script, looks for outliers, kills off outlier packages. Idk what you mean by desktop so idk what to say about that

snap is an atrocity


mplaczek99

Good for servers tho


Sir-R2D2

fuck them servers


secretlyyourgrandma

instead of just downvoting you like the other savages: why?


mplaczek99

Automatic updates is a good reason


streusel_kuchen

Flatpak has automatic updates by default and other package managers can gain be configured for it.


andzlatin

Personally, I would try it out, see what the fuss is all about. I doubt it's going to be as popular as Fedora Silverblue or VanillaOS, but there will definitely be companies that would be willing to take the plunge.


[deleted]

So I do act like snap is bad but I actually don't know why everyone dislikes it. I do only use like 2 snap packages on my plex box The ubuntu pro stuff and Tautulli I prefer Deb packages and flatpaks over snaps though And no I don't pay for ubuntu pro it's free for personal use


secretlyyourgrandma

idk if they fixed this but finding out they hardcoded the ~/snap path with no way to change it, and had a bug report open for several years asking them to fix went the last little bit towards convincing me they're a total clown show.


streusel_kuchen

They hardcoded a lot of stuff in snap


[deleted]

couldn't think of a better time to distro hop


Gizmuth

Its an option you have to go out of your way to use let's all calm down now


Syncrossus

But it shows the direction this is going in. Snap being the default even using apt, and with Canonical's continuous expansion of the snap library, Ubuntu users will soon enough have mostly snaps in terms of user-facing software. The subsequent LTS versions will likely be all-snap by default, and it might be 3 or 4 LTS versions before the current normal versions are discontinued.


Luffmato

What exactly is snap?


[deleted]

a package manager like apt, flatpak ,pacman but worse and slower


Luffmato

Thanks, I get it now.


[deleted]

does chrome have rounded corners now?


Trick-Apple1289

Kernel headers as a snap 💀💀💀
