I wish they could just bring back PWA's. The PWA extension doesn't work with the dumb snap Firefox.
8 0 ReplyDon't use snap.
7 0 Replyi really dont understand the snap packages argument, care to elaborate?
1 0 ReplyIts simply because its slow and bulky and the snap store is not open source and themes wont work on it.
4 0 ReplyWell I'm not really opposed to it but if someone forces me to use something, I won't. And snap Firefox is sandboxed meaning extensions that requires a separate plug-in won't work.
4 0 Replythen why are the ubuntu devs so enthusiastic about it?
2 0 ReplyIdk, maybe cuz then they can ask companies for money for putting their apps on the store?
4 0 Replyhow does the
sudo apt install
work then, does anyone get paid?2 0 ReplyProbably.....not? Idk I'm not the 'know it all guy'. It's just inconvenient when I sudo apt install Firefox and it installs it from snap tho.

I've heard that snaps are great for servers, which is where Ubuntu is focused these days. Also, they want people to use their homemade technology instead of Flatpaks, which are much better for desktop users from my understanding.
1 0 Replyflatpaks are what you get when you use the
sudo apt install
right?1 0 ReplyNo, apt usually gives you native .deb installs. Flatpak and Snap are two different container technologies for distributing apps.
