Mint plans to side-step Snap packages |
 |
With Linux Mint version 20 planned for release later this year the Mint developers are testing our some features, including themes and driver support. The project is also addressing concerns users have about Snap packages. The project's base, Ubuntu ships with Snap by default and trying to install some packages through APT can cause Snap packages to be installed instead. The Mint team wants to avoid this, insuring users only get the packages they want. "I'm happy to confirm that Linux Mint 20, like previous Mint releases will not ship with any snaps or snapd installed. Second, to address this situation we'll do exactly what we said we would: In Linux Mint 20, Chromium won't be an empty package which installs snapd behind your back. It will be an empty package which tells you why it's empty and tells you where to look to get Chromium yourself. In Linux Mint 20, APT will forbid snapd from getting installed. You'll still be able to install it yourself and we'll document this in the release notes, but by default APT won't allow repository packages from doing this on your behalf." Further information on the upcoming release of Linux Mint 20 can be found in the project's newsletter. |
