Akademy 2023 - Over a million reasons why Snaps are important. https://tube.kockatoo.org/videos/watch/39911645-b305-4b2f-a633-f526c921259e Speaker: Ms Scarlett Moore I will start out with the fact that snaps have had over a million downloads and with those kind of numbers, they cannot be ignored. I will continue on to describe here my journey in creating a vast amount of snaps, the automation of said snap building using invent.kde.org and Ubuntu launchpad builders. I will explain the hurdles I have overcome and what needs to be done to keep the snaps updated and how developers can help ensure the users are getting updates in a timely manner. The hard part is done, I have made it easy, just a few more minutes of your time at release.

So the reason is - snaps are popular?
Yes.
These are the reasons I would like to hear explained in detail 😄
Next time you should attend the BoF. This was a 5-minute lightning talk.

Are they filling a gap in software distribution that is otherwise untapped? Or maybe people prefer to use snap release of a program over other packages? If so - why? These are the reasons I would like to hear explained in detail :D

It's nothing but a reinvention of DLL-Hell except bundled together for each. Stick to AUR and force software to upgrade.
