I started a series of blogposts explaining varying questions I’ve seen come up around the internet.
-
Why is there only one Snap Store?
This also covers- Is the snap store open source?
- Can other distros curate packages?
- Why can’t Ubuntu “just switch to Flatpak”? or “what is so fundamentally different between Snap and Flatpak?”
- Why do we even need Snaps and Flatpaks?
- Do Snaps and Flatpaks infringe on the GPL?
- Can I audit a Snap package? or “Can I see what sources were used to build a Snap package?”
Let me know if I’m wrong about something or missed something. Ideas for future blogposts are also welcome.
