  • The selling point is that it is immutable, not that it uses snaps (which it does). Fedora does the same thing with Silverblue and IoT. You don’t install rpms, you install flatpaks. You can install rpms, but you’re not really meant to.

    Since Canonical refuses to get onboard with flatpak (for now) they use snaps instead of debs, but snaps aren’t the direct appeal.

    The whole idea is that you have a core system in a known configuration. Updating the system just means using a different image. If an update fails, then you just roll back to the last good configuration. Bazzite uses this to nice effect too.

    There are a lot of advantages to end users and enterprise admins with systems in this configuration.






  • There’s lots of examples. Mir, Unity, Snap, PPAs, and more.

    I think Ubuntu Core is a bad example. Immutable distros is where the industry is headed for a lot of good reasons, and it makes sense for Canonical to jump on that train. Snaps are bad (although honestly I do like that they can package server apps unlike flatpak, that’s cool), but the concept for the distro is not.







  • I mean yes, absolutely. Figured that one out with weed lol. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t hurt people I care about or said some truly ghoulish things. It won’t matter after I’ve died but that hasn’t happened yet :)

    Since my life has no meaning, my life means whatever I want it to mean, and that paradoxically gives my life a lot of meaning.

    I was raised in a deeply conservative catholic home and as a result was super racist and homophobic. I ditched the religion and grew a lot as a person, and I’m proud of that growth but damn it feels bad that I was ever that person. I’m also fortunate to not be extremely autistic and I was able to get a handle on my emotional outbursts (for the most part) and sort of bring myself under control. I can’t help but wonder what life might have been like if I was able to develop like a normal person sometimes. I try not to dwell on it, but it feel like I’m 10 years behind my peers emotionally.
