Canonical is planning an ‘All Snap’ desktop next year. It will likely be available side-by-side with the traditional deb-based installation we’ve been used to since 2004.
If the “All Snap” or “immutable” platform is to be a success, Canonical needs to get a grip on the broken, uninstallable, insecure, and outdated snaps provided in the snap store.
As I mentioned, there’s around five thousand snaps in the store. Hundreds of them haven’t been touched in years. Some developers have just abandoned their packages.
I want to see this situation improve. In general, Canonical should incentivise the promotion of applications and dis-incentivise letting applications languish.
good thing I left for manjaro
Please for the love, hate, indifference, or whatever of god switch to Endeavor OS. I try not to criticize people’s distro choice but Manjaro is Endeavor OS with more bugs. If you have some reason that you can’t switch that’s fine, but if you can, please try Endeavor.
i didn’t hear about manajiro’s bad reputation until after i installed it, if i end up into issues i’ll most likely switch.
I used it for a bit when I was starting to daily drive Linux, and I switched the second time it broke. It may end up working for you but just be mindful that it may stop working. I specifically recommended Endeavor because it is Arch based and would be a pretty seamless transition.
Why not endeavor? Manjaro holds back packages from the Arch upstream so if you install a newer package from the AUR it can possibly depend on packages Manjaro held back and break your install.
didn’t hear about endevaour until after i installed manjaro, if i get any issues i’ll most likely switch.
