      Debian also got a lot quicker with updates. They are not as “oldschool” as they’ve been a few years ago with the packages being always years behind. They still have the Debian way of thinking (tested > on the edge) but it’s months and not years of waiting for new updates to be implemented in their official sources

        Ubuntu’s Director of Engineering says the new hub will be a “snap-first app store” designed around snap metadata. If the same piece of software exists in the Ubuntu repository and the snap store the new store will only make it possible to install the snap version.

        Their plan is to put out more snaps and drown out debs, which is a terrible plan.

          Even your link says they’re NOT replacing the apt command with snaps. And yet above you said they were.

          The snaps-only thing is in the store.

          So I say again: they’re NOT turning apt into a snap-only thing. Please read news carefully before spreading fake news.

              Still doesn’t mean every apt package is becoming a snap. Firefox is more of an “exception that proves the rule”.

              And since you’re so desperately grasping at straws here, I won’t keep feeding this conversation.
