所有官方的 Ubuntu 特色版决定默认停止使用 Flatpak
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
> Ubuntu 各特色版已同意停止使用 Flatpak 作为其操作系统的默认打包系统，而选择替代的打包管理器。
|
||||
|
||||
这是一个令人惊讶的举动，Canonical 宣布，所有官方的 Ubuntu 特色版将不会默认支持 Flatpak。这个决定是在与所有官方 Ubuntu 特色版的团队/维护者达成一致后做出的。这一变化计划从 2023 年 4 月发布的 “Lunar Lobster” 开始，该版本将在几周后发布。
|
||||
|
||||
### Ubuntu 官方特色版将停止默认安装 Flatpak
|
||||
|
||||
基于 Ubuntu 的官方特色版（Kubuntu、Lubuntu、Xubuntu 等）将不再将 Flatpak 作为其默认的打包解决方案，而选择其他方案，如 Snap 和本地 deb 格式。这样做是为了 “在尊重现有用户个性化他们自己的体验方式的同时，改善新用户开箱即用的 Ubuntu 体验”。
|
||||
|
||||
虽然这个决定得到了 Canonical 的支持，为了提供更好的用户体验，阻止软件包生态系统的碎片化，并给用户一个稳定的应用产品的选择。但显然，有几个问题冒了出来。
|
||||
|
||||
为什么是现在？Flatpak 和 Snap 都已经存在多年了。Flatpak 正变得越来越流行，它作为一种包格式在积极开发和维护，一些现代功化的功能也正在开发中，比如即将出现的 “经过验证的应用程序”。而同时，由于 Snap 的 “启动时间慢”，以及被 Canonical 的封闭服务器所控制等其他原因，它在桌面应用部署领域无法得到很大普及。
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 发行版本身从来没有默认提供过 Flatpak。但是特色版的维护者应该有选择自己的产品的自由，并在 Ubuntu 基础上进行创新。这也是成为一个特色版的主要原因，而不只是一个不同的桌面环境。
|
||||
|
||||
### 给用户造成的困难
|
||||
|
||||
虽然你总是可以手动安装 Flatpak 并配置 Flathub，但显然，这可能会给用户带来一些问题。我相信这个公告是彻底阻止 Flatpak 安装方式的第一步。
|
||||
|
||||
还记得 Firefox Snap 的情况吗？要删除 Firefox Snap，你必须做复杂的命令行操作，才能安装 deb 版本。这些对于普通的 Ubuntu 用户来说是非常复杂的。此外，一些流行的桌面应用程序在发布后会立即推出 Flatpak 软件包。对于许多流行的 Linux 桌面应用程序来说，有时甚至没有提供 Snap 软件包。
|
||||
|
||||
我相信让用户来决定哪种打包格式是容易和遵循的。Canonical 应该通过解决 Snap 的核心问题、应用程序的可用性和闭门造车的性质来自行改进 Snap，而不是强行做出决定。此外，在为一个社区贡献的发行版推送决定之前，应该与特色版维护者一起发起投票，以获得来自社区的反馈。
|
||||
|
||||
### 结束语
|
||||
|
||||
如果我们曾经从历史中吸取教训的话，它永远不会以好的方式结束。也就是说，这一变化将从 2023 年 4 月 23 日 Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster” 发布时开始。
|
||||
|
||||
让我用 Ubuntu 的座右铭来结束这篇文章，在这一举措之后，这听起来很奇怪：
|
||||
|
||||
> “Ubuntu 是一个古老的非洲语单词，意思是‘<ruby>以人道善待他人<rt>Humanity to Others</rt></ruby>’。它经常被描述为提醒我们，‘群在故我在’。我们把 Ubuntu 的精神带到了计算机和软件的世界里。Ubuntu 发行版代表了世界软件社区与世界分享的最好的东西。”

Ubuntu Flavours Decide to Stop Flatpak by Default
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
**Ubuntu flavours have agreed to stop using Flatpak as the default packaging system for their operating systems, opting for alternative package managers instead.**
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
In a surprise move, Canonical announced that all the official Ubuntu flavours would not ship Flatpak support by default. The decision is taken in agreement with all the official Ubuntu flavours teams/maintainers. The change is planned from the April 2023 release of “Lunar Lobster” onwards which is due in a few weeks.
|
||||
|
||||
### Ubuntu official flavours to stop installing Flatpak by default
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu-based official flavours (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu and others) are moving away from Flatpak as their default packaging solution in favour of other options such as Snap and native deb formats. This has been done to “improve the out-of-the-box Ubuntu experience for new users while respecting how existing users personalize their own experiences”.
|
||||
|
||||
While the decision is backed by Canonical, considering better user experience, stopping fragmentation in the packaging ecosystem and giving users a stable choice for app offerings. Apparently, a few questions pop up.
|
||||
|
||||
Why now? Flatpak and Snap have been out there for years now. Flatpak is becoming more popular since it is actively developed and maintained as a packaging format with modern features being developed, such as “verified apps”, which is coming up. At the same time, Snap could not get much popular in desktop app deployment space due to its “slow start time”, controlled by Canonical’s closed server among other reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu itself never shipped Flatpak by default. But the flavours maintainers should have the freedom to choose their own offerings and innovation on top of the Ubuntu base. That’s the main reason for being a flavour other than a different desktop environment.
|
||||
|
||||
### Difficulty for users
|
||||
|
||||
While you can always manually install Flatpak and configure Flathub, obviously, it might create some problems with users. I believe this announcement is a first step to completely stop Flatpak from installing in a way.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember the Firefox snap situation? To remove Firefox snap, you have to do horrible command line tweaks to get the deb version installed. Those are very complex for average Ubuntu users. Furthermore, some popular desktop applications release Flatpak immediately after a release. Snaps are sometimes not even available for many popular Linux desktop apps.
|
||||
|
||||
I believe in letting users decide which packaging format is easy and follow. Instead of pushing a decision, Canonical should improve Snap by itself by addressing its core problems, app availability and close-door nature. In addition, voting should have been done to get feedback from the community in collaboration with the flavour maintainers before pushing a decision for a community-contributed distro.
|
||||
|
||||
### Closing Notes
|
||||
|
||||
It never ends in a good way if we ever learn from history. That being said, this change affects from April 23, 2023, onwards when Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster releases.
|
||||
|
||||
And let me close this article with the motto of Ubuntu, which sounds strange after this move:
|
||||
|
||||
> “Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning ‘humanity to others’. It is often described as reminding us that ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’. We bring the spirit of Ubuntu to the world of computers and software. The Ubuntu distribution represents the best of what the world’s software community has shared with the world.”[about ubuntu][3]
