Thoughts on Linux Mint dropping the Snap store - Linux, tech and open source thoughts
In today's video I share my thoughts on a blog post from Linux Mint outlining why they'll be dropping out-of-the box support for Canonical and Ubuntu's snap store.

SimpleScreenRecorder as described by its website, "SimpleScreenRecorder is a Linux program that I've created to record programs and games. There were already a few programs that could do this, but I wasn't 100% happy with any of them, so I created my own."
My original goal was to create a program that was just really simple to use, but as I was writing it I started adding more and more features, and the result is actually a pretty powerful program. It's 'simple' in the sense that it's easier to use than ffmpeg/avconv or VLC, because it has a straightforward user interface."

"Manjaro is a user-friendly Linux distribution based on the independently developed Arch operating system. Developed in Austria, France, and Germany, Manjaro provides all the benefits of the Arch operating system combined with a focus on user-friendliness and accessibility.
"Manjaro uses a Rolling Release Development Model, whereby rather than being replaced, the same core system will instead be continually updated and upgraded. As such, it is not – nor will it ever be – necessary to re-install a later release of Manjaro in order to enjoy the very latest and most up-to-date system possible. By virtue of keeping an existing installation updated, it is already the latest release." From the Manjaro Linux website.

"Snaps are containerised software packages that are simple to create and install. They auto-update and are safe to run. And because they bundle their dependencies, they work on all major Linux systems without modification."
"Snapcraft is the command line tool for writing and publishing your software as a snap." From the Snapcraft website.
"The key idea of the AppImage format is one app = one file. Every AppImage contains an app and all the files the app needs to run. In other words, each AppImage has no dependencies other than what is included in the targeted base operating system(s). AppImage format is ideal for upstream packaging, which means that you get the software directly from the original author(s) without any intermediaries, exactlyin the way the author(s) intended. And quickly. AppImages can be downloaded and run without installation or the need for root rights." From AppImage.org.
