28 2 ReplyKubuntu removed Flatpaks in favour of Snaps
34 1 ReplyMint for the win! I really hope they make LMDE the main branch in the longer term.
22 0 ReplyThe 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.

It is no longer installed by default, in other words, exactly the same as the other Ubuntu flavours

Yup. It's bullshit. They just don't include Flatpak in the default OS from the installation media.

Pop!_OS is based on Ubuntu and also strips Snaps for Flatpaks AFAIK
11 1 ReplyYeah, 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
apt
and I'd probably be fine with them.14 0 Replyand also strips Snaps for Flatpaks AFAIK
Neither of these are a feature.
