- geek_at 7y agoonly if you install your server applications using snap
- littlethrowaway 7y agoSo, why are people getting upset about this then? If you can simply just _not use snaps_?
- koheripbal 7y agoI'm guessing it's not an option when using the GUI?
- nromiun 7y agoI was using the regular version for remote desktop VMs. I don't know about the server version.
- input_sh 7y agoIf you're running Ubuntu's server, odds are that you're SSH-ing into the box instead of running graphical interface. Unless you specifically install snaps, I don't see how this would affect you.
- koheripbal 7y agoPerfect. So I guess that means APT is still the same, correct?
- pnako 7y agoYeah apt is still fine and I've never seen it update anything behind my back.

- znpy 7y agoYou might want to consider jumping ship and go into the RHEL/CentOS world. Stability and predictability is their main strenght. Each release is supported for a veeeeery long time.
- eikenberry 7y agoStability and predictability of the core OS. But then everyone uses EPEL for everything else which throws that all out the window.
- znpy 7y agoUhm, yes and no. I mean... As long as you don't use EPEL, stability and predictability are pretty much granted. I've been using epel on some machine and haven't had that many problems, though.
- Twirrim 7y agoYup, snaps are littering Ubuntu Server 20.04. They're in 18.04 as well, for that matter. Maybe not quite as much, but they're there.
