In my opinion Snaps are superior in terms of design and functionality than Flatpak.

You are now my enemy.

Snaps was one of the earlier enshittification indicators, and the point where I jumped ship.

    I've been following Snap since it was called Click back in 2011-13 because it was solving a lot of problems that the classic, trusted package management had and still has. Problems that were elegantly solved on Android with the APK package and sandboxing system. That was pretty exciting so I might have a somewhat different perspective. :D

    When I started with linux in late 2003, I soon came to wish for some universal packaging system.

    I have grown to regret that wish.

    For me it wasn't so much the universal part than the reduced maintenance work that comes with bundled depdnencies which makes a package work over more OS releases without breaking, as well as the higher upgrade success rate.

    But yeah I like the trusted repo model that Debian uses. It's a lot of work by many volunteers and the result is great, so long as people keep doing it.
