    Hopefully both of the people using snaps can recover from this.

      Canonical make it hard not to use snaps so only those who took extra steps are not using them.

        For a while now the best way to experience Ubuntu is by using something based on it.

          Linux Mint is amazing if you want Ubuntu with less bad choices.

            Pop!_OS is another great alternative!

          Why downstream when you can go upstream?

      Sadly that is not true, see snap vs flatpak usage in debian.

      Keep criticizing snap (But do it in a way that is trustworthy and valuable), if somebody wants to use snap due to some advantage that is fine but he should make an informed decision

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
