Well the snap containers do sound interesting. It seems to solve the problem of having the right library versions for a given task. Of course I also wonder if this doesn't create the problem of how to update insecure libraries that distributions tried to solve in the first place by only having oen shared copy of a given library to update. Maybe they have some concept of using system libraries for some things. I haven't checked the details that much on it yet. As long as you don't get your information from the press release:
https://www.happyassassin.net/2016/06/16/on-snappy-and-flatpak-business-as-u... Yeah that pretty much matches what I thought was the state of things.
Snappy, nice name sounds like a name for App's and rhymes with Happy, Clappy, Nappy, Pappy and Crappy Other container application management like Applmage, FaltPak/xdg etc all have boring names.. even though, imho, http://appimage.org/ is philosophically the best of the lot :) Linux (press?) is becoming sooo gentrified
