Also I think snap is an Ubuntu thing vs flatpak and appimage which are more distro agnostic. That's my issue with it/Ubuntu. They are doing good things, but at the same time I don't feel they are as "open" as other linux distros.

Also, snapd is installed by default on their servers and it's not as to remove as it should be.

This is one of the reason that I will always choose a different distro if I have the choice.

Snap is available for many distros https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd

It's great Canonical pays all the huge costs of Snap servers and bandwidth. I could not afford to host all that myself.

Does its sandbox work yet on distros that don't use apparmor? Last time I checked, snap apps were essentially unconfined on Fedora, and sandboxing is one of snap's most important selling points.
