hey /g/, it's been a long time and I'm kind of out of the loop on linux community news. I found an article on ars technica about this new snapd thing and I want to ask you: how is it going?

I mean, canonical basically saved linux, right? As far as I recall, this is exactly what we needed. Now linux has THE best application distribution model across all platforms. now we can ship games and stuff without worrying about libraries.

so... has the community accepted snapd as our lord and saviour? how's been the reaction so far?

Static linking of libraries has existed much longer than the amount of time that Canonical has been on the scene. Also no, Canonical didn't save anything. The popularity of desktop GNU/Linux has not changed significantly since Canonical got involved. It's primary use is still as a server OS (it makes up roughly half the internet). If anything, Google "saved" Linux by making a mobile operating system with it (ie. Android)

statically linking has existed for a long time, but no one does it
