A new ‘app store’ is expected to ship as part of Ubuntu 23.10 when it’s released in October — and it’ll debut with a notable change to DEB support.

    I don’t think that the board members are sitting there and pondering how they can exercise more control on the user via snaps.

    The auto updating is a nice benefit but it doesn’t seem like a big enough benefit to allocate so many developer man hours into. I would think that Canonical would realize that the developers time is better spent making features the users want.

    But what do I know? I’m just someone posting on Lemmy not a Canonical board member haha

      Snap provides features that users want. Here, I’m a user and I really appreciate those features. Features that have been improving my life for at least 5 years.
