Oh yes, let's all get on board with The One True Canonical Way. Like upstart, Unity, Mir...

Hey, let's not get all religious about it - people give Canonical a justifiably hard time when they do stuff like Unity and Mira and do not engage with other Projects, we shouldn't be jerks when they DO make an effort to work with us, which they are with this.

But is it a good idea in general (snap, Flatpak, etc.)? I understand the issues it's trying to solve, but how much more disk space will it use? How much bigger will my operating system partition have to be? And how much longer will software installs take?

I see not the problem in disk space. I see big problems in security and updates. And with snap, snappy or so on, package manager 'will be obsolet'. And then Linux is the sames as Microsoft. Many double packages and many old paclkage wich nevver be fixed or updated. And for me many more works to update 'snaps'. If i can do it even.

I think snap and os one will driven by Manaufacture and Industrie. They need less people.

For me it makes no sense and i will it not.

For what I have read, I made up my mind that it is a way to try to make money like with Android. Appstores etc. So probably it will be not free anymore. And not so much safer anyway if I well understand as it brings a problematic of unmaintained and uncontrollable libs. It may "help" to get applications to run like "devolo's networktool" or other hardware manufacturers that currently, if they do, support only Ubuntu. However, I cannot avoid the expression that this is a proud step...in a wrong direction. It would quite well fit as "alternative explanation" why the kde desktop was separated from the applications (than you can sell applications separately as apps...on the long run I guess). --- Mail & Cloud Made in Germany mit 3 GB Speicher! https://email.freenet.de/mail/Uebersicht?epid=e9900000450 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
