Alternative Snap client called published |
 |
Canonical, the company behind the Ubuntu distribution is also the developer of the Snap package format, along with the Snap command line client and official Snap repository. To date, Canonical has insisted on hard-coding the Snap client software to work only with Canonical's own, curated repository of Snap packages. This has put Snap in contrast with the portable Flatpak framework, which works with a variety of third-party repositories. A new project called lol has been created which provides an alternative client for Snap which can work with specified repositories. This could provide people who like using the portable Snap packages with the opportunity to acquire software from Snap repositories other than Canonical's.
