It might be worth mentioning that a more open, community driven and decentralized option offering mostly the same concepts exists in the way of Flatpak and Flathub.

And that Linux Mint, a very good derivation of Ubuntu LTS, made the choice to ditch Snap and integrate Flatpak instead in their version of the Software Store.

No one uses snap but Ubuntu.

Flatpak fits the same niche, but better.
