0627login:Penguin2022/07/19(火) 08:49:14.75ID:lHV1Kj53 The Snap Store, also known as the Ubuntu Store, is a commercial centralized software store operated by Canonical.
Anyone can create APT repositories and distribute software freely. Users can point to multiple repositories and define priorities. Thanks to the way APT works, if a bug isn’t fixed upstream, Debian can fix it with a patch. If Debian doesn’t, Ubuntu can. If Ubuntu doesn’t Linux Mint can. If Linux Mint doesn’t, anyone can, and not only can they fix it, they can distribute it with a PPA.
Although it is open-source, Snap on the other hand, only works with the Ubuntu Store. Nobody knows how to make a Snap Store and nobody can. The Snap client is designed to work with only one source, following a protocol which isn’t open, and using only one authentication system. Snapd is nothing on its own, it can only work with the Ubuntu Store.
This is a store we can’t audit, which contains software nobody can patch. If we can’t fix or modify software, open-source or not, it provides the same limitations as proprietary software.

When Snap was introduced Canonical promised it would never replace APT. This promise was broken. Some APT packages in the Ubuntu repositories not only install snap as a dependency but also run snap commands as root without your knowledge or consent and connect your computer to the remote proprietary store operated by Canonical.
Disabled Snap Store in Linux Mint 20
Following the decision made by Canonical to replace parts of APT with Snap and have the Ubuntu Store install itself without users knowledge or consent, the Snap Store is forbidden to be installed by APT in Linux Mint 20. 0629login:Penguin2022/07/19(火) 09:09:18.48ID:n1MX50v5 マジか!Ubuntu最低だな 0630login:Penguin2022/07/19(火) 09:13:18.54ID:n1MX50v5 以前、Ubuntuが簡単だからという理由で使ってたけど、標準でアマゾンのアプリが入ってたので、それ以来使わなくなった。 そんでDebianに変えたのだが、Debianは何かとバグがある、未だにかな入力のバグが直ってない。 やっぱぁ、Linux Mintがええのか 0631login:Penguin2022/07/19(火) 09:28:50.77ID:lHV1Kj53>>629 Ubuntu日本語チーム関係者は絶対に語らない、 Mint開発者が公然と語る裏の事情です。 0632login:Penguin2022/07/19(火) 09:40:13.81ID:n1MX50v5 >APTでChromiumをインストールしようとすると自動的にSnapパッケージをインストールする仕様
