the need to ask for the removal of flatpak to push snap into flavors, and here I'm talking about the intention, no matter they all agreed
the fact that some packages like chromium lies installing snap
the fact that the store doesn't even support other sources like flatpak, while the old one does
all of this make me think of an imposition. Tbh what I see in this matter is the desire to push snap but not having the courage to call it what it is: a choice.
@mirkobrombin No argument from here that Canonical's handling of Snaps, apart from whatever their technical merits may or may not be, has been a mess. If Canonical has so much confidence in Snaps, why not make them opt-in and pitch them with lots of PR about their benefits?
I'd try an all-Snap or all-Flatpak distribution. But, as of now, neither offer me any advantages in a mixed environmont with debs or rpms. They introduce the disadvantage of coping with multiple packaging mechansisms.
