I used to use Linux Mint at many computers. But making hard to use Snap is just shooting itself in to foot.

Currently I prefer Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Debian, where Snap works.

It's like community just complaining about Snap, and not rushing to provide pull requests for alternative package systems like Flatpak.

Without packaging to Snap, I just end up producing separate .deb package for each distro, like:

- Ubuntu 18.04

- Ubuntu 20.04

- RasPi 4

etc. Separate .deb package is needed, because different distros have different versions of dependencies.

Snap works on multiple distros with one package, that saves a lot of time.
