Discover will be compatible with canonical snap packages

Snap is Canonical's bet for the future of parcel in Ubuntu and the rest of operating systems based on the Linux kernel. Canonical's proposal gains another point with the acceptance by Discover, the KDE Plasma package manager that will be compatible with Snap.

Discover of KDE Plasma bets on Snap

KDE Plasma is one of the best desktops available for GNU / Linux systems and without a doubt the most complete, this great environment is based on Qt to make a significant difference compared to Gnome and all based on it that are supported by GTK tools in its different versions. Discover is one of the most important pieces of Plasma since it is its integrated package manager, a very powerful and advanced graphical tool. Discover will take another step forward in October with Plasma 5.11 with compatibility with the popular Snap packages, this is intended to make it easier for users to use and also to help developers distribute their creations.

Get to know the Ubuntu Snap packages and their advantages

Snap is a new concept of packages in GNU / Linux that has very important differences with the current repository system, thanks to Snap all applications are independent and contain all the libraries and all the necessary elements to function. These applications work in a sandbox environment so that if there is a security or stability problem it does not jeopardize the rest of the system, although for this the use of Wayland is necessary since X.Org is not prepared for the sandbox effectively..

Another great advantage of Snap is that it can mean the unification of packages for all operating systems, with packaging once it would already be available for all compatible systems, which means a great saving of time and resources compared to packaging for each distribution separately.
