Snap updates happen without user consent

Traditionally, updates on Linux systems are controlled by the user. You get an icon in the system tray that looks important; you click on it; it asks you if you want to install updates; you say “yes” or “no”; updates are applied, or not; when you next restart any applications that you have running that were updated, the new version is picked up. Data isn’t lost, because updates don’t restart the application. You can (and do) update the Linux kernel in this way, and your computer just stays up (usually running on the old version of the kernel until you next restart.) Mechanisms have been added over time to allow auto updates to take place for critical security patches (“unattended upgrades”) but these have typically to be opt in. And again, they don’t restart running applications. Snap breaks this contract. The update channel for Snap is independent from the KDE updater (on Kubuntu), and seemingly the Gnome updater (on Ubuntu). If you consent to applying updates from the general system tray “updates needed” notification, Snap updates are not included; they’re not even listed in the pending notifications from the system tray. Snap updates only happen when the Snap updater is running, either if the application is not running or after the period of time required to force updates has expired. Snap updates happen without consent. I would really, really suggest moving away from Ubuntu, and opting for the countless better alternatives instead, like Fedora (the best desktop, in my view), Linux Mint (a great desktop, but a bit more conservative than Fedora), any of the Arch derivatives (for bleeding edge and tons of fooling around with AUR), or Void (for those of us with taste). Or any, any of the others. Ubuntu just does not seem to have its users’ best interests at heart, and Snap is the best example of that.

Drupal Association blog: Join us for 10 Days of Drupal 10!

Drupal 10 is almost here, and we cannot wait for the community to experience the latest version of Drupal! With an expected release date of 14 December, we have less than two weeks to go. The Drupal Association is hosting 10 Days of Drupal 10 giveaways in celebration of the release! 

From 5 December to 14 December, tag us daily on Twitter with a Drupal 10-themed meme or graphic for the chance to WIN an exclusive Drupal 10 hoodie. Your Drupal 10 meme or graphic can be highlighting one of your favorite Drupal 10 features, upgrades, or anything else related to Drupal 10.

Here are some examples for inspiration:

 

Then, on #Drupal10’s expected release day, 14 December, we’re giving two lucky winners a chance to win a ticket to DrupalCon Lille or DrupalCon Pittsburgh (your choice!). To win, all you have to do is tag us with a video of your Drupal 10 release party. After that, we’ll randomly choose two winners to receive one ticket each.

We want to see how you celebrate the release, so feel free to get creative and show us your celebration. We can’t wait to see all of your videos!

On Monday, 5 December, head to the Drupal Association Twitter account, @DrupalAssoc, for the kickoff of 10 Days of Drupal 10 and your chance to win! In the meantime, check out the new features on the Drupal 10 page. The Drupal 10 page also contains all the information you’ll need to ensure a smooth upgrade to Drupal 10.

Are you hosting a Drupal 10 party in celebration of the release? Share it with the community by adding it to the Community Events page on Drupal org!
