Hi all,
up till now I´ve been using Lubuntu as a resource-friendly OS. I´ve got 4 GB of RAM available; so I have to take that fact into account.
Yet it seems I cannot stay with this distro any longer when it finally reaches EOL next April.
Therefore I´m considering switching over to LinuxLite.
The reason is the following:
Ubuntu and its official derivatives force snaps onto the user (with version 22.04). I have cause to avoid them.
Looking on LinuxLite´s package list at https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distri....0#pkglist I wouldn´t find any of the snap related packages other Ubuntu derivatives are using, which seems pretty good to me.
However I still found those 3 entries having the keyword "snap" in them:
• gir1.2-snapd-1:amd64 1.60-0ubuntu1
• libsnapd-glib1:amd64 1.60-0ubuntu1
• libsnappy1v5:amd64 1.1.8-1build3
My question would be:
What would that entail?
In other words: Is LinuxLite 6.0 fluorite snap-free? :
It´s based on Ubuntu after all, right?
Thanks so much for your help in advance.
Many greetings
