Snaps work across distros |
 |
It looks as though snaps will be showing up on multiple Linux distributions in the near future. The Ubuntu Insights website explains: "Developers from multiple Linux distributions and companies today announced collaboration on the snap universal Linux package format, enabling a single binary package to work perfectly and securely on any Linux desktop, server, cloud or device. This community is working at snapcraft.io to provide a single publication mechanism for any software in any Linux environment. This release quotes Dell, Samsung, the Linux Foundation, The Document Foundation, Krita, Mycroft, Horizon Computing, contributors to Arch, Debian, OpenWrt, Ubuntu, and several of their related distributions. According to the post, snap packages can currently be used on many distributions including Arch, Debian, Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distributions. Snap packages are being tested and should soon work on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Gentoo, and openSUSE. Further details can be found on the Insights website.
