Linux Mint Dumps Ubuntu Snap

Re:Linux Mint Dumps Ubuntu Snap by amaccuish on Friday June 05, 2020 @06:20PM (#23434697)

I like snaps too but snap has a habit of killing my open apps when it wants to update, rather than waiting. Especially Telegram.

Also Telegram was really buggy a few versions back and it took several releases for notifications to start working again. It would have been nice if I could roll back and pin while they went through the first few 2.0 releases.

If you're still interested, I found the link: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/wip-refresh-app-awareness/10736 and https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/projects/3

It is actively being worked on.

IIRC the fix is available and being tested under a feature flag or similar right now. I can't find a link immediately though, sorry.
