Whose home? Apparmor applies things at a system level, not at a user level.

Please don’t.

Nix is a cool, good technology. We don’t need it to be an annoying meme.

Nah, this is just the same “hivemind hates thing” leaking over from Reddit. It’s not that different to the systemd hate. There’s a core of a point, but if a small fraction of the energy spent on the daily Two Minutes Hate were redirected towards fixing the things those folks don’t like, they wouldn’t have any molehills to treat as mountains.

You can’t use environment variables to set up apparmor rules.

Couldn’t the same argument be made for any distro? They give you what they put in their repos. If you want a deb package, use the mozillateam PPA (which is built on Canonical’s hardware, same as Mozilla’s snap of it).

If macos is Wario, surely iOS is waluigi?

Flatpak is not a solution for packaging a large portion of the types of software Canonical packages with snap, such as database servers, kernels and containerisation software like lxd.

But if flatpak doesn’t meet the widest use case of snap, are they really describing flatpak?

So why would Canonical switch to another technology that came after what they made and doesn’t cover their biggest use cases for snaps?

You can download a .snap package and install it. If you add the author’s signing key as trusted in your own snapd, you can even do it alongside their own assertion file.

Personally I use (and maintain) snaps for several developer tools I use, because the automatic updates through snap means I can have automatically up-to-date tools with the same package across my Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch and OpenSuSE machines.

Snaps predate flatpaks though.

At a previous job we had an unholy combination of the last two:

Valve are one of the major reasons that Microsoft’s attempts at the iOSification of Windows failed. Their investments in Linux are directly aimed at preventing what Apple is doing.

Tim Sweeney is a freeloader depending on companies like Valve to protect him from these threats to his company.
