Hello !
As Mint is based on Ubuntu, I’m wondering if it will follow the missteps (to me at least) Ubuntu is doing to demote *.deb packages in favor of snaps?
Well that based on Ubuntu 23.10’s New Software App Will Demote DEBs (Apparently) post, and its lemmy.ml discussion.
From all ubuntu based distros, Mint seems not to follow those missteps, but I’m wondering if Rhino will do the same. Actually I don’t like Rhino created a wrapper package manager which actually gets snap support as well as apt on the same bucket. But who knows, it might be they won’t follow ubuntu on this.
Does anyone know?
My interest on Rhino comes from it being rolling release. But I don’t want snap to become the source of common/important packages.
Thanks !
I read about its rhino-pkg, which is just a wrapper as I mentioned. My concern is not about not being able to use each package manager directly, but rather on its packaging policy. Is it to follow canonical/ubuntu decisions? Or will it keep packaging what it as a distro offers to users on deb packages controlled by apt?
Yes, I cross posted it to !rhinolinux@lemmy.ml once I noticed it had a community, though I guess that would be the 1st post ever, :)
