Normally I would be the type commenting on the irrational component to controversial perceptions around the #Snap ecosystem.
But in this case even I would say that #Canonical are bang to rights given the repeat occurrences and the types of mitigation they could have introduced.
If they are only trying to avoid cost or amplifying the fear of it becoming a walled-garden then the current approach is biased too far in the other direction on both counts.

Cross-distribution support improvements coming for Canonical's Snap packages
Well, 2024 should be interesting for Linux packaging! While many distributions use different packaging formats like deb, rpm and others there's also Flatpak for cross-distro support.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Well, #Snap may be better on the #Server side but considering the "standard by consensus" on #FLOSS they should admit defeat and go with #FlatPak.
Espechally since #Canonical doesn't seem to yet provide the benefit of a #centralized #repo in the form of #QualityControl and #Verification of #Developers...

Which reminds me that @EU_Commission not calling out #RHEL and #Autodesk as #Market #Gatekeepers shows that those decisionmakers know shit about #tech.

Snap store from Canonical hit with malicious apps
Canonical are currently dealing with a security incident with the Snap store, after users noticed multiple fake apps were uploaded so temporary limits have been put in place.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
This is a fantastic development! We should also thank forward-looking distros like @elementary and its AppCenter for Everyone initiative for paving the way.
Now, will #Canonical follow this move with Snap? Because I'd much rather support an ecosystem that in turn has the mechanisms in place to support the developers.
