I work with enterprise customers every day who use RHEL, it's free variants, and Ubuntu - I can promise that none of them give a single shit about Flatpak or Snap. They will never use either of them. Those tools are only relevant to Linux on the desktop - the small size of that market is exactly why both companies (mostly Canonical) have gotten away with being a nuisance on this front.
- dizhn 3y agoFlatpak is very relevant on the immutable OS space which is being pushed hard as the future. It is mostly an enterprise (server/vm) thing too.
- anyoneamous 3y agoI just don't see people caring about an immutable OS in the enterprise space. The central requirement is already addressed by containers, and all of the security and compliance stuff enterprises do is predicated on having a "normal" OS - even if an immutable deployment is technically more secure, that doesn't help you if your auditors can't understand whether it checks the requisite boxes.
