Infographic: Ubuntu's Snaps Work Anywhere Linux Runs, Support 42 Linux Distros 

Canonical informed Softpedia today about a new infographic they prepared for developers interesting in building or packaging their apps as Snaps using the Snapcraft utility.

 

Dubbed "Snapcraft for developers," the infographic aims to show application developers how simple is to build Snaps, Canonical's universal binary format for distributing Linux apps on Ubuntu and across a multitude of GNU/Linux distributions. The infographic also reveals that Snaps see more than 3 million installs per month from over 2,000 developers who use Snapcraft to publish their Snaps in the Snap Store.

"At the end of last year, we shared an infographic highlighting the adoption of snaps by users for their desktop, server or IoT devices. Those snaps wouldn’t be available without the growing number of developers building them behind the scenes. But why have developers, including those from some of the world’s largest software companies, decided to package their applications as a snap?," said Canonical.Ubuntu's Snaps are now available for 42 GNU/Linux distributionsTargeted at developers, the infographic shows the success of Snapcraft, the free and open-source utility used for building Snaps on a supported platform, such as Ubuntu Linux, allowing developers to bring their apps to a broader audience of millions of Linux users. Snapcraft also supports numerous languages, including Python, Qt, Java, Node.js, Electron, Go, C/C++, Ruby, Rust, MOOS, ROS, and ROS 2, and lets you release new app versions from your existing workflow.

The infographic also shows that Canonical provides a universal app store for GNU/Linux distributions, supporting a total of 42, including Ubuntu, Debian GNU/Linux, ArchLinux, Fedora, Linux Mint, Raspbian, OpenSuSE, and much more, from where you can deliver and update your apps for desktop, cloud, and IoT (Internet of Things) devices. Check out the entire infographic below for more details on the growth of Snaps as a platform.
