1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    They're planning on making a version where everything is a snap. Performance and usability may come later, who knows.

    I think it's an interesting approach. I much prefer flatpak but can't say I'm curious what all-snap system would be like

    That's already a thing? It's called Ubuntu Core and is aimed at servers for now.

    They are working on a desktop edition which is what you are probably referring to - it's a very interesting idea imho, they basically containerize the whole system, kernel and DE included. Will see how popular or useful it'll be, but I can imagine it being used in embedded devices for example. In my understanding it's going to be like most immutable distros, but with snaps instead of flatpaks.
