Imma be honest. I never used Snap. I had left ubuntu long before they started rolling it out.
That said, hearing they redirect apt calls to snap instead feels – A bit too microsofty for my tastes
Like, when you use a flatpak (or even a snap!) in a non-ubuntu distro, you’re not forced to use it. And if the same package exists on both the repo and on flatpak/snap, you CAN choose to get it from any of the three sources. Forcing people into snap is weird and scummy.
I have heard that snap is slower than flatpak, but also that it can do some stuff flatpak cannot, but again, didn’t test enough to know it.
