@jon @Vivaldi I had to do a reinstall of Ubuntu Linux on a new hard drive and when I went to install Vivaldi, I found that there is now a Snap. This is excellent news!!

@jon @Vivaldi And I forgot to thank you and the rest of the team for making sure Linux is treated as a "first class citizen" and not forgotten or not cared about by so many software companies.

@jon @Vivaldi this is very cool. congrats!

@jon @Vivaldi after mozilla goes AI, I think vivaldi has potential for mainstream on linux. Even without the PRESTO engine 😎 What about looking into Servo at some point?

@jon @Vivaldi Will there also be a Flatpak version? Snap is already very customised for Ubuntu

@jon @Vivaldi
That is NOT a progress IMHO.

@jon @Vivaldi Reminds me, I need to finish purging Snap from my Ubuntu installation.

@jon @Vivaldi I'm not sure why there is a touch of negativity here and there around Vivaldi released as a snap. Isn't Linux about choice in how it's used? Plus, there is a noticeable move to Linux happening because of recent questionable updates to Win and Mac, and those people generally go for Ubuntu or Mint, and initially use them how they're used to. So apps just being available in an app store and installed in a click serves those type of users. I see this as a good thing at the right time.

@jon @Vivaldi
Sounds great! I personally prefer flatpak since my system is fedora based, but more support options is a good thing.

I hope that you guys will be able to figure out how to securely do the flatpak version at some point too.
