    What everyone else has already said, plus sudden updates that nuke active applications.

      This is not what’s supposed to happen. If an app installed through flatpak is active while it’s receiving an update, then the update is not supposed to affect the running application until it’s closed/restarted.

      Edit: Somehow I didn’t realize the concern was raised against Snap and not Flatpak.

        Luckily this was about Snap.

        The thread is about snap and why it’s worse than flatpak.

        We’re talking about snaps in contrast.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
