a lightweight, non graphical app, but needing basic integration like

GSettings and MIME types.

servers, you may still find some of these packages useful."

=== Snap Packages vs. Flatpaks: The Differences and Which One You Should Use ===

 

Derrik Deiner from Make Tech Easier compare and contrasts about the

two leading packaging software, Snappy , an Ubuntu based software

offering similar functionality. In answering "which is better?" he

sums up by betting on both, stating two is better than one.

 

Editorial comment from UWN staff: This article provides valuable

information comparing the formats, but it is worthy to note that Snaps

are not actually "hard-coded to use the Snap package store" run by

Canonical as the article states, it is possible to run your own snap

repository.
