Snaps and flatpak help Linux work for me. My ideal desktop is a stable core with a few select user applications that I can keep current. Thanks to snaps/flatpak I can run Debian stable on my personal desktop, but keep emacs, firefox, and a few more apps at their most recent versions.

I'd like to point out that, as far as I know nobody or very few people have problems with flatpak.

There is flatkill.org, but that kind of comes across as FUD.

The privilege escalation attack looks a bit worrying, but aside from that it looks either the same/better as/then native packaging (Sandbox for some apps), or something that is on the developer (Out of date packages).

It's possible I'm misunderstanding something, if so please feel free to tell me so.
