> The Linux Mint project has made good on previous threats to actively prevent Ubuntu Snap packages from being installed through the APT package-management system without the user's consent. This move is the result of "major worries" from Linux Mint on Snap's impact with regard to user choice and software freedom. Ubuntu's parent company, Canonical, seems open to finding a solution to satisfy the popular distribution's concerns — but it too has interests to consider. An excellent and succinct summary of the issue in the first paragraph. I have to hand it to LWN for excellent synopsis/summary paragraphs in the articles. This is a lost art in today's clickbait headline where the lede is buried in the center of the Earth.
