minus-squareLavenderDay3544@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·19 hours agoWhy? What’s the issue with Snap? Is Flatpak any better?
minus-squareFooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·12 hours agoYeah, Flatpak is far better. The most glaring issue: Canonical hosts the only Snap backend, you can’t host it yourself. Flatpak on the other hand is fully open. Don’t introduce proprietary crap just so companies can profit off of it.
