Canonical is planning an ‘All Snap’ desktop next year. It will likely be available side-by-side with the traditional deb-based installation we’ve been used to since 2004.
If the “All Snap” or “immutable” platform is to be a success, Canonical needs to get a grip on the broken, uninstallable, insecure, and outdated snaps provided in the snap store.
As I mentioned, there’s around five thousand snaps in the store. Hundreds of them haven’t been touched in years. Some developers have just abandoned their packages.
I want to see this situation improve. In general, Canonical should incentivise the promotion of applications and dis-incentivise letting applications languish.
Bingo.
Near 20 year Ubuntu user here, I’m on the lookout for something different. Probably debian, but I want KDE
You can use KDE on Debian, it’s a checkbox in the installer or you can use a Calamares live iso with KDE.
Yeah that is one of my favorite parts of Debian. You can just pick a DE in the installer or even use no DE in the install and apt install one. I don’t understand why so many distros try to lock you in to one DE.
