    I don't think so. I'm on Ubuntu and mostly use debs (apt), I'll use Snaps if that's the easiest way to get an update. I use Appimages for some ephemeral stuff or when that's the on…

    Did it? What adoption numbers? Number of distros? Number of applications? Ubuntu seems to dwarf other Linux distrobutions in terms of numbers of users. Are you saying more users ha…
