    I think the main complaint is that it seems like Canonical is trying take control of Linux packaging. Don’t they handle their stuff in a way that pretty much prevents third party ‘Snap Stores’? Like, their backend being closed source and their software only accepting their own signatures?





  • Linux basically cannot damage hardware in any way that Windows couldn’t. The hardware/firmware decides what interfaces it offers and what you can configure. If any hardware puts these roadblocks only in the driver or some UI, and (for whatever reason) only the Windows version, I guess you could.

    Would be a really strange thing to do tho, since most just implement a generic driver that works everywhere and then at most an interface on top of that.
