It's just a growing hype from a minority of Ubuntu developers involved in snap development. "Search thousands of snaps used by millions of people across 50 Linux distributions" https://snapcraft.io/store There's a reason for the missing pro-audio software, due to the container approach, it requires special interfaces to e.g. share the sound server by different apps. https://docs.snapcraft.io/core/install Which are those 50 distros? Arch isn't one of those, it's a misleading claim! https://docs.snapcraft.io/core/install-arch-linux The installation instructions are horrible! "Warning: AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux." - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers "Arch Linux related mailing lists and other official Arch Linux support channels aren't an appropriate place to request help with snaps on Arch Linux." - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Snapd#Support That something is "available", in the case of Arch Linux by something comparable to a PPA, doesn't mean that it's supported, or that the distro even supports the desired infrastructure. From the PKGBUILD's ./configure: "--disable-apparmor" - https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=snapd But even if you stay with Ubuntu and snaps, it's not easy to use it for pro-audio software, if possible at all. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
