What’s new in security for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS?
Highlights Rust rewrite of GNU coreutils and sudo-rs TPM-backed Full Disk Encryption now considered stable More secure services (don’t run as root if not needed, AppArmor profiles) AppArmor prompting for snaps is still experiemental unfortunately

Snap as a technology is so interesting and more versatile than other formats. It’s just unfortunate that Canonical is in charge of the project, they’ve made some baffling decisions and continue to shoot themselves in the foot.

That’s part of what I mean. Snap could be so much more interesting and useful if not for Canonical doing stuff like only allowing one store and slacking on proper support for non-AppArmor distros. One of the more bizarre experiences I’ve had is that a Canonical employee packaged a version of a Minecraft launcher. It was absolutely garbage, didn’t even start. The first thing that comes to mind is that snap is just garbage. But for fun, I made my own package of it, and it just worked perfectly. Which just leaves me the question of why a Canonical employee who works on snap can’t create a good snap package. There’s also the weird fact that Ubuntu dropped the ball with its core24 runtime. For some reason, Canonical’s own snaps stuck to core22 up until this month. Like, why wouldn’t they upgrade to their latest runtime? If there was an issue with it, why has it been broken for 2 years? Doesn’t inspire trust.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
