I'm not sure if Ubuntu realizes that the entire Linux ecosystem is moving away from them because of this flatpak vs snap situation.
I'm sure their enterprise side is fine, but their consumer side is disappearing rapidly.
- remram 4y agoI don't think the Linux ecosystem likes Flatpak that much more than Snap. They are both pretty terrible.
- jklinger410 4y agoPeople love flatpak and hate snap, actually.
- bravetraveler 4y agoIndeed! The temperature generally favors Flatpak, no doubt. Personally... I tolerate it. It's useful for things I can't manage otherwise. Though I'll admit I'm in an incredibly small niche -- I maintain RPMs on COPR for fun... and at work. I part with an anecdote! We weren't too careful on some Ubuntu systems and ended up with critical networking services in Snap. The saving grace was: these systems are completely offline, so it couldn't sneak in updates. Note: this usually shouldn't be a big worry, but we have some debt
- remram 4y agoOver AppImage or APT, really? Do people ever go "great, it's not in my distro but there's a FlatPak available, just as good"? Not saying you're wrong, but this is surprising to me, and not my own reaction as a full-time Linux user.
- jklinger410 4y agoI'm saying flatpak over snap, that's all.
