  • The main thing I have against snap is that they force it on people (second is the single store). This seems like a perfect use case, especially for snaps strengths vs alternatives, like the kernel snap, to shine.

    We’ll see how it plays out, but I would much prefer a more modular base to the monolithic images used by Fedora Silverblue. I don’t like that it puts so much of the control and decision making into the upstream.


  • Make sure you have a good backup and be careful in the Debian partitioner. Unless they have changed something recently, rather than unlocking and using the current encrypted drive like most other distros, it will ask you for your key and then re-encrypt the drive (clearing data). It does this prior to confirming any partition changes. Ubuntu has done the same in my experience.

    Every time I have tried to keep data I had to do some manual stuff. Fedora, SUSE, most others are happy to unlock it.
