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.

Thanks !

Edit: Responses indicate, at least so far, Mint is not following Ubuntu's decisions regarding snap. Thanks to all who responded !
