Are they still trying to make snap happen?
It’s not going to happen.
WilmoIts also for my experience the worst way to use apps.
The fact that I can’t “update” my software without closing it first.
Why can I do that with all other package formats? I get it won’t be the new version until I reopen the app but still. Its unnecessary friction.
Also with the prompting last I used it Firefox couldn’t download anything with it enabled.
Like you ship Ubuntu with like 4 major snaps including the security center and it hasn’t or hadn’t worked with your shipped snaps for at least a year?
caseyweedermanJust wait until you find out about Ubuntu “Oops! All Snaps” Core Edition.

Asked and answered.
Not really though? Or rather - then answer the other half. Why are flatpaks, deb, rpm, arch, etc. ALL able to update in place? But with snaps we need that sucker closed? It sucks to use like that.
thingsiplaySnap is already a big part of Ubuntu since years. So what do you mean by “its not going to happen”?
MrSoupIt’s a good improvement. They needed this years ago (or ideally, when they first started using snaps).
SocialistVibes01Mint and Tuxedo guys, abandon the shitshow called Ubuntu
Mint does have a Debian Edition.
LMDE should be the main edition.

Stop using Ubuntu. Stop perpetuating their abuse.
