    This news shouldn’t be a shock to anyone. Ubuntu is just doing what they’ve been doing all along, and that is trying to push they’re snap packages.

    As long as distros give people the option/ability to install in other ways I don’t see a problem. Now if Ubuntu out right banned any other way to install apps that would be big news.

      If you try and use apt to install Firefox, it secretly uses snap anyway. Shit like that is a problem

      Yeah, I don’t see much wrong with it as long as it works as well as any other installation option and stays maintained.

      Interesting thought about banning other installation methods. I can’t think of how they’d actually do any of that besides going fully immutable. 🤔
