- aliqot 4y agoI don't understand your comment, but would like to make the observation that Canonical vis-a-vis Ubuntu is trying to make Ubuntu as ubiquitous as Windows when it comes to someones 'first' Linux system, or as a Linux system that "Just works" and are abusing this position (in my opinion) to push forward proprietary and regressive technologies like Snap. Open source does not negate something being proprietary. There are many 'one format' packages out there, flatpak and appimage being two great ones. Snap is two steps back, no steps forward, but it has that Ubuntu logo which conveys authority, and that's about as un-Linux like as it gets. By virtue of power-of-authority, they're quite literally forcing this garbage on the greater linux ecosystem that other people simply don't even know exists. Ask anybody on the street if they know what a Linux is and if the answer isn't 'no', the ones who can respond will say something like 'oh yeah, i have ubuntu on my thumb drive'. If you'd have told me this would happen in 1995, I'd have said you're nuts and gone back to hammering dents out of my Yggdrasil install as I chuckled.
