Linux Basics: Useful Beginner Information

[Şerban S.]

My question is, with Ubu changing to snaps by default, what will happen to the vast Ubu repositories that all Ubu-based distros have relied on for years? Smaller distros like this one may have a hard time maintaining their own repositories that can offer the same level of software.

My guess is that on a short term, we'll still have the old Repos.
On a medium term, might use AppImage Apps.
On the long run though, it is hard to say anything. How can we even grasp where technology will get in say... 2 years from now?
Intel storage technologies, seems to offer huge storage capacity at a fair price.
Once storage increases, development might choose a different path for teamwork, different ideas might occure any second starting from now, regarding huge projects management software. GitHub, GitLab, are just "a solution". As far as I can see, people involved in projects like Linux Lite, are already looking for better solutions to manage their projects.
I guess Jerry himself is looking for diferent solutions, but "for now", Snap looks like being a safeway, in case things go sideways.
All this stuff is related, is intertwined.
Take a look on the "Social Network" software and paradigm.
Facebook, was a breakout. Now, it's "just another social network".
How long ago was this? 15 years?
Since I have never been a professional programmer, it is difficult for me to forsee what programmers might come with, say... next month. What about next term, or next year?
Do we have to worry for what is beyond us to do?
I guess the best chioice is "Stay tuned, move fast, be wise"
