    Are they still trying to make snap happen?

    It’s not going to happen.

      Snap is already a big part of Ubuntu since years. So what do you mean by “its not going to happen”?

      Its also for my experience the worst way to use apps.

      The fact that I can’t “update” my software without closing it first.

      Why can I do that with all other package formats? I get it won’t be the new version until I reopen the app but still. Its unnecessary friction.

      Also with the prompting last I used it Firefox couldn’t download anything with it enabled.

      Like you ship Ubuntu with like 4 major snaps including the security center and it hasn’t or hadn’t worked with your shipped snaps for at least a year?
