    Ubuntu Founder Explains Why Distro Wont Support Flatpak

    If you were hoping to see Ubuntu support Flatpak sometime in the near future Look away now!

    [05:24] schestowitz

    In a live Q&A to celebrate the recent Ubuntu 22.04 release Ubuntus founder was asked if the desktop edition of the OS would ever consider shipping with Flatpak support out of the box.

    [05:24] schestowitz

    And his answer was pretty succinct one: no.

    [05:24] schestowitz

    He has his reasons, of course.

    Of snaps and stratagem

    My desktop machine is running Kubuntu for a while now. As the new LTS came out I decided to update it. One major change in this release is that Firefox is no longer provided natively, instead it is a Snap package. If you have any experience with computers you might guess that this will cause issues. It surely did.

    [05:25] schestowitz

    First the upgrade failed on Firefox and left me with broken packages. After fixing that by hand I did have Firefox but it could not be launched. The launcher app only shows a "Find Firefox" entry but not the browser itself. It can only be run from the command line. For comparison, all apps installed via Flatpak show up properly.

    [05:42] schestowitz

    Hare is a systems programming language designed to be simple, stable, and robust. Hare uses a static type system, manual memory management, and a minimal runtime. It is well-suited to writing operating systems, system tools, compilers, networking software, and other low-level, high performance tasks.
