Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I removed the snap version of firefox as soon as snap started whining it couldn't update because I was using firefox. And it even seems to start a little faster now that it's installed through a ppa.
I like snap.
So sorry to hear that.
It's alright. I soothe myself with trivial release upgrades.
Having multiple release channels is amazing
Yay more work for devs
I would prefer to have multiple channels so people can test upcoming builds of my software for bugs. It would just be a matter of changing the ci/cd that alot of projects have now to publish in different places depending on the git branch
Flatpaks already work everywhere including on canonical's OSes, snaps don't work in containerised systems due to nesting
The biggest betefit of flatpaks was no longer having to package your software multiple times, so we don't publish snaps for the open source projects I maintain
Seems it's wrong in the end... :/
yeah had same issues and moved to libvirtd and virtiofsd
How Canonical seems to keep doubling down on snaps despite large push back from the community reminds me of Reddit's API change. I didn't see an end in sight, which is what pushed me to Fedora.
