Don't you find Flatpacks and snaps a little slower? The overreliance of Ubuntu 20.04 on snaps was my reason to finally ditch it for something else

Flatpaks, nope. At least nothing I could notice.

Snaps, yes definitely, but mostly when there is a UI involved.

I tend to prefer Flatpaks for apps with a UI.

Snaps would have been good for CLI apps if Canonical would just give it a rest already, and allow them to be decentralized and stop pushing them so hard as if that would make us use them.

So while I do sometimes use snap packages, I'd prefer not to.

Thanks a lot rhamzeh!
