Please, Canonical, just for once use the default and stick with Flatpak like everyone else. We don't need another Mir, Upstart, Unity, ...

        But by wieldly different users (devs&ops vs everyone if it's up to Ubuntu), and in different kinds of computers (servers vs desktops).

  I think flatpak is coming with 20.04 given that's going to be in Pop OS 20.04 which is based on Ubuntu

  I'm not a fan of containerization of base OS apps at all (planning on using it for for Chrome, Skype, Slack, and other Electron-based cross-platform apps only) but I'm pretty sure Ubuntu is mainstream enough at this point that Canonical pretty much dictates the shape of the Linux desktop for third-party apps while "everyone else" includes "just" RH (who still do/finance a large part of kernel development, of course). But maybe I'm overlooking something, so if somebody with a distro maintainance or third party appdev background could share why settling on snaps causes trouble or undue extra work or is less-than-optimal I'd appreciate it.

  > stick with Flatpak like everyone else Can you please write who "everyone else" is?

    "Everyone Else" sounds like some Ubuntu release :-)
