I'm more curious if snap/flakpak-based installations will benefit Ubuntu Studio more than servers and other desktops.

- WhatIsDukkha 6y agoOne of the primary benefits on audio side of Studio iirc is that the Jack audio server is installed and working. Jack, at this point, doesn't work/sandbox well with flatpak (or snap). Redhat is leading an effort to create Pipewire which will act as a kind of combination of Jack(low latency) and PulseAudio(modern desktop features) that also fold in video routing. As part of the design goals of Pipewire it will sandbox well with flatpak etc. I'm sure there will be lots of whining and noise from poorly informed users but I think it's going to be pretty great when it gets there.
