[Bug 1789943] Re: Ubuntu Software only shows snap app's without any explanations or advices
I agree: Please seperate snap packages installs from the gnome-software or any GUI software centre on all ubuntu flavors The current problem is first time ubuntu users are not very aware they are installing apt packages or snap packages. Perhaps create a seperate snap software centre where the end user has the choice to install snaps instead of having default snaps in the system. see my duplicate bug #1799165 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1789943 Title: Ubuntu Software only shows snap app's without any explanations or advices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1789943/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I agree ! Canonical should not impose snap, this should remain a secondary alternative that should not be prioritized over classic apt repositories. A snap should only appear if there is no alternative!

[Bug 1789943] Re: Ubuntu Software only shows snap app's without any explanations or advices
Hello Olivier, My « issue » here really is not about snap. But about software center that do not clearly show when app is a snap and therefore let people install them without pointing to a 3-4 steps pieces of advice about how correctly setting a snap. Nowadays end-users learn they installed a snap by a very wrong way : because their favourite app no longer works as expected. Most of the time it's just wrong settings about authorisations and confinement. So I really think some highlight and warning in software store would ensure people install snap in a more cautious, conscient and efficient way and would avoid most disappointments. So no opinion here but an improvement wish for software stores. Now a question : is it normal I no longer see regular legacy packages in Ubuntu-gnome-software ? Only snap ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1789943 Title: Ubuntu Software only shows snap app's without any explanations or advices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1789943/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1789943] Re: Ubuntu Software only shows snap app's without any explanations or advices
There are definitely rough edges in some snap apps as they are today, but many others work just fine out of the box, and an end-user shouldn't have to know what a snap is in the first place, much like regular end- users today don't know what a debian package is. The rough edges have to be polished and bugs addressed, but this shouldn't hold back from offering/promoting snaps in Ubuntu Software. On top of additional security, snaps are very much about empowering upstream developers/editors to control exactly which version of their software will be delivered to users. ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1789943 Title: Ubuntu Software only shows snap app's without any explanations or advices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1789943/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
