I know snap is fairly unpopular in the Linux community, and I’ve seen mixed responses regarding Flatpak. I wanted to know, what’s the general opinion of people in this community regarding this 2 package managers?

    I use Flatpaks and they’re pretty great specifically for gui applications that don’t need any kind of deep integration with the system. For terminal applications or for applications that do need system integration, they’re not quite ready yet.

    I’ve never tried snaps, but I hear almost exclusively bad things about them, so I’m not really interested in trying them either.
