  1. Now I know you may have me on mute, @BrodieOnLinux ...

    But let me repeat again: #Snap packages rely on a centralized repository. Let me repeat:

    #Cannonical is trying to do a #VendorLockin situation with snaps, whereby they become the gatekeeper to your software.

    Juxtapose that with #flatpak, which is designed from the get go to be repo agnostic. Sure, you need the #FreeDesktop runtimes for most flatpak repos, but it isn't actually a hard dependency.

  2. Let me put it like this. #Cannonical wants to diversify their portfolio and the trajectory they've chosen is one that pussyfoots with #autocrats and #SiliconValley #banks.

    For all #RedHat & #IBM are, it just doesn't compare to this would-be #Microsoft (a company they've frequently "conferred" with).

    I don't care much for their new shiny #Rust based #OperatingSystem stack is, I keep telling people:

    It's 👏 time 👏 to 👏 dump 👏 #Ubuntu 👏

    I'll die on this hill.
