    This honestly seems like one of the only things Snaps could be useful for in the future, considering you can update every component of the system with Snaps in a way that you can’t with Flatpaks.

    That said, I still dislike Snaps and I think it would overall be better for Ubuntu to use the standard packaging format that everybody else seems to be converging on; Flatpaks.

      Canonical’s been selling commercial support for Ubuntu Core for a while now. Why would they abandon it if it’s working?
