I've used only snap to setup my work computer. It is running kubuntu 18.04. Also I have a spare husk that is running Arch, and I only used snap to install all the GUI apps. It too works well. I used flatpak for GIMP, and it worked well under Ubuntu 18.04. Though, I wish the GUI front end was written for both KDE and GNOME. As far as I know, this hasn't changed. I would like flatpak to be the dominate universal package manager. But I believe at this point snap has the larger store. On 11/1/18 2:29 PM, Mark Galassi wrote:
Has anyone here used nix or flatpak or snap either:
a) to install packages on your own system, or
b) to distribute your own packages
I've used nix install emacs26, since it was not yet in standard repos, and now I'm experimenting with NextCloud (topic for another post) which installed right away. I've also tried an install with snap and flatpak. I don't yet have any conclusions. _______________________________________________ nmglug mailing list nmglug@lists.nmglug.org http://lists.nmglug.org/listinfo.cgi/nmglug-nmglug.org
