The issues with X11 you mention is part of what Wayland tries to fix. And why early on seemingly benign things like screenshot tools broke.

Yes, I understand that there're people in the community who try to fix the problems. But it's really unfortunate, that Canonical tells us that it's secure whereas it's not: https://snapcraft.io/

>Snaps are containerised software packages that are simple to create and install. They auto-update and are safe to run. And because they bundle their dependencies, they work on all major Linux systems without modification.

From what I gather, Snappy is mostly a marketing gimmick by Canonical. If you want to packages apps, you should use something like FlatPak or AppImage.

Do you know whether they more secure than snaps? I like the idea of running whatever I want on my hardware without compromising security very much.

Wow that explains why "Shutter" (screenshot tool) doesn't work with wayland!!
