Canonical to abandon Snap, remove in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- xiaomai 4y agoLame April Fool's joke. It sure would be nice if Snaps would go away though.
- silisili 4y agoApril Fools jokes are supposed to be funny and lighthearted. This one is just going to crush anyone it fools.
- maxboone 4y agoI sure hope this is not an April fool's joke
- maxboone 4y agoIt is, article links to wikipedia page for april fool's day. Sure got me.
- 000ooo000 4y agoTotally had me until this line: >Not everyone is happy with the decision, of course. Gave it away
- ofalkaed 4y agoThis made me hate Snap and Canonical even more than I used too.
- mattigames 4y agoPlease don't flag it @dang , just preppend "April 1st joke: " to the title
- throwawaaarrgh 4y agothis forum really is where fun goes to die
- awinter-py 4y agosnap firefox crashes all the time it can't just be me
- fretn 4y agoSame here Also if you remove apparmor, snapd will be removed without telling you that this will break all snaps. That's not how a package manager is supposed to work
- selivanovp 4y agoMine works for weeks between occasional reboots to install kernel updates. If firefox crashes a lot for you, most probably it’s one of the addons you use causing that.
- awinter-py 4y agoa girl has no addons
- jacooper 4y agoToo good man too good. Let's hope it becomes a reality one day.
- francisduvivier 4y agoHaha, I wonder how funny this will be when Canonical eventually really needs to dump it.
- wkat4242 4y agoLol, this one really fooled me. I mean, after UpStart, Mir, Unity, I really feel it's only a matter of time till they realize it's pointless to play the not invented here game and just adopt FlatPak. I think their main reason is trying to get their own intellectual property on the map and to be the gatekeeper for the snap store which could become lucrative when paid apps ever become a thing. But as with their previous not invented here enterprises, nobody else is interested and they're just wasting money.
- Daviey 4y agoI think your definition of NIH differs from mine, on all of those projects. Let's start with Upstart, how was that NIH?
- usr1106 4y agoIf it's too good to be true it's probably not true. Not a great topic for a joke.
- Brian_K_White 4y agoLame whoever flagged it.
- tpoacher 4y agoI was about to say finally they've seen the light, first flathub, now snap, this is restoring my faith in ubuntu. Then I saw all the comments noting today's date. Oh well.
- jfolkins 4y agoLOL.

- IYasha 4y agoI knew this was a joke from the start, but I wish so much it would be true! I'd rather have just plain old .deb packages.
