Kubuntu removed Flatpaks in favour of Snaps

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Mint for the win! I really hope they make LMDE the main branch in the longer term.

The 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.

What? I'm pretty sure I have access to Flatpaks...

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

At least it's an easy fix

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