Snaps are pretty fantastic for IoT, which is where we started. We have some sucky things to fix for snaps on the desktop, such as astartup performance and permission handling when you want to go outside the sandbox, but we will fix those.

If you really care about security and reliability across multiple Linux distros, then containerised software distribution is particularly challenging. But it's a fun technical challenge, and we have an amazing team that's dedicated to getting it right.

Our goal is very secure, very reliable, very seamless software distribution across any Linux, and as far as I am concerned it's great that there are multiple teams working to figure out that hard problem. How lucky for you that we're not all just stuck with one option!
