1 year ago Seems like other channels have kind of the of the same problems, at least https://downloads.k8slens.dev/apt/debian I just installed the latest version from there, running into same issue mentioned before, like with the snap version.

1 year ago The other issue is more about uses different versions of Ubuntu to build Lens Desktop. We are planning to fix this soon.
As to this issue. We use other means of testing releases instead of the channels built into the Snap store, given that we have the release channel built into the version itself.
I'm wondering, why the prebuild snap versions are so much mixed up.
I'm not very familiar with the release cycle of snaps, but regarding https://snapcraft.io/docs/channels#heading--risk-levels I would expect stable releases are pretested via candidate versions. But it seems like that channel is not in use at all. Additionally, the version of the beta channel is not the same as the one on stable (or even close), and the edge version ("for users wanting to closely track development") is very old, compared to the stable channel.
From my point of view, this situation leads to bugs like this one, which is kind of critical, especially in the stable version. And it happened earlier to me with lens, which is quite unfortunate if you use lens on a daily basis.
I don't want to blame anybody, but I was asking myself, how it would be possible to improve that situation, especially regarding the snap versions? I'm not familiar with the other channels where you provide prebuild packages, but I am wondering if they have the same issues?
Meanwhile, I will build the project from the repository, which seems to be the "safest" method to receive reliable versions (e.g. one for testing/bugreports, and one for productive every-day usage).
