Ubuntu replaces calculator Snap with Deb package |
 |
For the past few years the Ubuntu team has been encouraging people to use Snap packages, portable packages that are bundled with their dependencies. The Ubuntu developers have even replaced the Deb packages of some commonly installed applications, such as the Chromium web browser, with equivalent Snaps. The trend may be reversing though as a recent change to the upcoming Ubuntu 20.04 release replaces the Snap bundle for GNOME Calculator with its equivalent Deb package. Snap packages have been criticised for being larger than their Deb counterparts and slower to start, which makes some users disinclined to use them for desktop applications.
