In a world where Snap is ubiquitous, Canonical is in charge of software running on your devices, not you.
- grey_earthling 6y agoThat world is Ubuntu. AFAIK, no other (major?) Linux distro uses Snap. When you choose a distro, you choose that distro's install-and-update policy. If you prefer a different policy, choose a different distro. I understand Linux Mint and Pop!_OS are like Ubuntu but without Snap, so they may be what you want. Personally I use Silverblue.
- sliken 6y agoSure, at least for now it's easy to disable snap. Unlike apple ubuntu can't force you to run things. Apple's got a locked down bootloader that checks the signatures of what is run, so they have in a very real sense control of the hardware, which Ubuntu lacks.
