The support on non-Ubuntu distributions differ. The sandboxing requires AppArmor. Various distributions use SELinux and that support isn't there (obviously on the todo). Further, heard that even with AppArmor a distribution needed to apply some AppArmor patches to the kernel.
They run on various distributions, but not in the same way.
- _joel 10y agoAgreed, but not quite the same as saying it's vendor lock-in, is it.
- bkor 10y agoI did not claim that, I merely added something to your statement. With Snaps too easily the caveats are ignored. Theoretically you could run your own store. Practically it needed an environment variable, plus (at least at that time) the server code wasn't open. Snaps are IMO quite a success (seems more used than Flatpak& AppImage), but always find a bit unfortunate that its limitations aren't mentioned. E.g. only today I learned that it doesn't do user installation. Similarly the sandboxed and running on multiple distributions.
- _joel 10y agoUnderstood, apologies if the comment seemed terse.
