Wait is this true? They can’t be replacing apt with snaps all the way… I’ve been using Ubuntu for a decade plus and this would force me to switch

Thanks for the link. Read the article and it’s just them kicking debs out of the App Store I don’t use anyways. Still a terrible trajectory…
If I was into the Ubuntu ecosystem I think I would be on Pop OS mainly to avoid snaps.
Yeah they are, just go debian, it's ubuntu before they went full Hodor.
Debian also got a lot quicker with updates. They are not as "oldschool" as they've been a few years ago with the packages being always years behind. They still have the Debian way of thinking (tested > on the edge) but it's months and not years of waiting for new updates to be implemented in their official sources
They’re not.
Please read the news before spreading misinformation.
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/07/ubuntu-23-10-new-app-store-deb-support
Their plan is to put out more snaps and drown out debs, which is a terrible plan.
Even your link says they’re NOT replacing the apt command with snaps. And yet above you said they were.
The snaps-only thing is in the store.
So I say again: they’re NOT turning apt into a snap-only thing. Please read news carefully before spreading fake news.
Try installing Firefox via APT and watch it install a snap package.
Still doesn’t mean every apt package is becoming a snap. Firefox is more of an “exception that proves the rule”.
And since you’re so desperately grasping at straws here, I won’t keep feeding this conversation.
