Wait is this true? They can’t be replacing apt with snaps all the way… I’ve been using Ubuntu for a decade plus and this would force me to switch

Yeah they are, just go debian, it's ubuntu before they went full Hodor.
16 4 ReplyDebian also got a lot quicker with updates. They are not as "oldschool" as they've been a few years ago with the packages being always years behind.

7 0 ReplyOne thing really annoying for me, there's only the 1 official "store" you can use and it doesn't support ipv6.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 says it's been available for apt since march 12th 2013.

The first inline video I saw on Lemmy. Nice!
7 0 ReplyIf I'm not mistaken, it's only on the GUI app store, you will still be able to launch a terminal and install deb from the CLI using apt. I could be wrong as I've read different things from different sources.
