This statement is false as snaps also have shared runtimes known as "content snaps".
A common example is the ones with the gnome- prefix and the ones that end with -themes suffix.

- Seattle3503 1y agoI think the point is that maintainers and developers now have a choice of whether they want to share libraries or not. Before the only choice was to share dependencies.
- hedora 1y agoThere has been a choice between shared and static linking since before the Linux kernel existed. What system are you talking about?
- patrakov 1y agoAny modern distro. Static libraries are simply not built anymore, so you have nothing to link with, unless you rebuild the whole subsystem yourself.

Anyway, you had me worried for a minute, but: https://packages.debian.org/source/bookworm/libs/ https://packages.debian.org/source/bookworm/libs/ Click on a C library. Click on the *-dev package.
