At least we have Mint and Kubuntu
Kubuntu removed Flatpaks in favour of Snaps
Mint for the win! I really hope they make LMDE the main branch in the longer term.
The redundancy is always good, but I really don't see what benefits the switch would provide. The Linux Mint team removed all the stuff they didn't like from Ubuntu anyway when packaging it as Linux Mint, and plus, Ubuntu's software repositories are much more up-to-date than Debian's owing to their regular release schedule. Unless they want to base LMDE on Debian Sid, anyway.
Also check out Spiral Linux. It's a pretty good distro.
What? I'm pretty sure I have access to Flatpaks...
https://kubuntu.org/news/flatpaks-and-kubuntu/
It is no longer installed by default, in other words, exactly the same as the other Ubuntu flavours
At least it's an easy fix
Yup. It's bullshit. They just don't include Flatpak in the default OS from the installation media.
do you mean Kde neon? pretty sure kubuntu has snaps
damn, I thought kubuntu got rid of that
Pop!_OS is based on Ubuntu and also strips Snaps for Flatpaks AFAIK
Yeah, it does, but if you try to install packages from apt, it still uses some Ubuntu repos and will try to sneak snaps and snapd in on you.
All Canonical had to do was NOT push snaps through
aptand I'd probably be fine with them.Neither of these are a feature.
Don't buy a Steam Deck then.
Fuuuuuuuuck kubuntu
What's wrong with kubuntu?
