Canonical to abandon Snap, remove in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Lol, this one really fooled me.
I mean, after UpStart, Mir, Unity, I really feel it's only a matter of time till they realize it's pointless to play the not invented here game and just adopt FlatPak.
I think their main reason is trying to get their own intellectual property on the map and to be the gatekeeper for the snap store which could become lucrative when paid apps ever become a thing.
But as with their previous not invented here enterprises, nobody else is interested and they're just wasting money.

I think your definition of NIH differs from mine, on all of those projects. Let's start with Upstart, how was that NIH?
NIH is a cynical name, it means you prefer IH. All this stuff is related to Canonical reinventing stuff, without most other distros adopting it.
Upstart got some decent adoption, with both Debian, Fedora, and RHEL switching to it by default for a short time.
Its downfall was that it didn't offer a great deal of benefits and kept all the downsides of sysvinit. systemd was superior in every way.

Are you suggesting Canonical should have stuck with SysVinit and shouldn't have tried to make systems better?
Totally had me until this line:
>Not everyone is happy with the decision, of course.
Gave it away

Too good man too good.
Let's hope it becomes a reality one day.
This made me hate Snap and Canonical even more than I used too.
Please don't flag it @dang , just preppend "April 1st joke: " to the title
this forum really is where fun goes to die
Lame April Fool's joke. It sure would be nice if Snaps would go away though.
Haha, I wonder how funny this will be when Canonical eventually really needs to dump it.

If it's too good to be true it's probably not true.
Not a great topic for a joke.

I knew this was a joke from the start, but I wish so much it would be true! I'd rather have just plain old .deb packages.
I was about to say finally they've seen the light, first flathub, now snap, this is restoring my faith in ubuntu.
Then I saw all the comments noting today's date.
Oh well.

snap firefox crashes all the time
it can't just be me

Same here
Also if you remove apparmor, snapd will be removed without telling you that this will break all snaps. That's not how a package manager is supposed to work

Mine works for weeks between occasional reboots to install kernel updates.
If firefox crashes a lot for you, most probably it’s one of the addons you use causing that.
a girl has no addons
Lame whoever flagged it.
LOL.
