>Sadly, the one non-standard thing that they continue insisting on is Snap.

Snap was and largely is mainly for the server crowd, that they've shoved into the desktop. So in that regard I suppose it's at least consistent for them. That said, snap is still terrible, but Canonical always just does their own thing.

Docker is a (declining) container format.

Snap is an app-packaging tool.

This is like saying that trumpets have won over bananas.


Who in the server crowd is using snaps?
