Well, I do not like the way Ubuntu uses snaps, but there are some good reasons to use something like snaps or flatpacks. Even with a less careful procedure to integrate and update packages than the one of Debian (which I like), create a new package and update one take some time. There are several examples when a user needs a bug fix or some functionality that packages in distributions do not provide. In such a case, without snaps or flatpacks, the user has to compile the program, which need some technical skills and can be sometimes really tricky. Appimages are less interesting, as you have to update them manually. Use parsimoniously, packages like snaps or flatpacks are something very useful, which improve user experience even for power users. The problem with Ubuntu is it uses way too much snaps and I do not think it is a matter of laziness. Best regards. -- Yoann LE BARS https://le-bars.net/yoann/ Diaspora* : ylebars@framasphere.org
