    Everybody’s bashing snaps but you can literally package drivers as snaps. If you don’t think that’s cool af I don’t know what is.

      99% of people don’t understand anything about Snaps except from thinking they’re worse than Flatpak

        Probably not the purpose of this distro but using snaps in this way are a massive benefit for embedded systems

      So you’re telling me that if snaps take off and become a standard there’s a good chance I’ll have to use them just to get my drivers? Now I hate them even more!

        This is highly unlikely. Snapd is open source so you can just repackage the software for your distro of choice. I don’t think giving users the ability to use both Flatpak and Snap is bad. Though I would put Snap behind a disclaimer due to Snap Store’s history.

        No but you see the drivers will be (must be) approved by Canonical which surely makes things better :|
