@TTimo "Ubuntu corporation fucks up with snap, more news at 6" I don't think I've ever heard any good news about snaps. Most snaps are several versions out of date, it even forces them on you if you install via .deb… is there any upside to them at all, besides being Canonical's vanity project?

Snap predates Flatpak by about a year, as I recall, so it was a novel solution to a problem when it debuted. (I mention this because Canonical frequently gets accused of NMiH over software that predates similar projects.)

Flatpak also doesn't work great with server or command line tools; it's mostly geared towards GUI desktop applications.

Flatpak didn't offer isolation like Snaps did until very recently.

⭐ Snaps + Ubuntu Core for network/computer/VM appliances.
