Compose your own Arch distro..

Just found ArcoLinux: [https://arcolinux.info](https://arcolinux.info/). It looks like an Arch based OS composer with some neat features as shown in the video: [https://youtu.be/ej8T3D1lKHo](https://youtu.be/ej8T3D1lKHo). What do you think?

Are you happy with Snap?

Snap packages is a prominent feature recently released in Ubuntu 20.04 and since its an LTS release, it must be here to stay. How do you feel about this new packaging system compared to the good old apt-get?

With robust and time-tested tools like synaptic and aptitude, I think apt was doing a great job already, so what was the need for Snap? If the goal was to create one standard packaging system across all distros, then that will only work if all other distros also unanimously adapt Snap but until that happens, upstream developers will have to ship both apt/dnf as well as snap versions of their apps. So, developers' work has increased or decreased?

Tech preview: NVIDIA precompiled RHEL8 packaging improvements, no GCC required

Join the [tech preview](https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/preview/repos/rhel8/x86_64/README.html)

Precompiled driver kmod packages provide the ability for users to stay on tested driver and kernel combinations, improve stability and reduce installation time, and include user control of driver branch selection via modularity streams. The new approach neither requires gcc and kernel headers installed nor EPEL enabled.

The source files for these driver kmod packages are compiled in advance and then linked at installation time, hence these are called "precompiled drivers".

These driver packaging improvements are open source https://github.com/NVIDIA/yum-packaging-precompiled-kmod in the form of RPM .spec templates and provide a path to support custom kernels with NVIDIA drivers.

What are the advantages of Snap over Flatpak?

As a less technical end-user, Flatpaks have always just "worked" better for me than Snaps, and it seems that most of this sub agrees (anytime Snaps come up, they get grilled and support for Flatpak flourishes). Yet, it's clear some people do in fact prefer Snap. What are the benefits of Snap over Flatpak? Baring conspiracies, what concrete benefits does Snap have over Flatpak?
