    The biggest issue to me with snap (unless something has changed since the last time I looked it up) is that it’s all a walled garden by canonical and it’s not open source (in the sense of package submission, review, rating, source availability, etc).

    With flatpak/flathub you can see the source and discussion behind each package

    https://github.com/orgs/flathub/repositories

    But that transparency doesn’t exist on snap so you are just hoping canonical did their homework on vetting apps


  • Because it avoids this

    It’s the baseline of UNIX, with Linux maintaining most compatibility, meaning servers around the world, desktop environments including MacOS and GNU/Linux, gaming machines (including video game consoles like PlayStation and Steam Deck), mobile devices like Android and Apple Devices, mainframe computing systems, embedded systems, so on and so forth. It makes up the backbone of our technology infrastructure. It continues to be iterated on, and is tightly bound with the C programming language and its improvements and iterations.




  • It sounds like a founder before they got a first seed round of investment, which usually leads to those first seed investors labelling themselves as “founders” too, so trying to differentiate with like “(co)-founded the business before we had external capital, e.g. did actual work instead of buying my way in.”

    That being said though, generally in my experience the more someone talks about being a “founder” the less they actually did beyond secure funding and blabber on about “vision” and “product” while others did the real work.
