container stuff breaks the MOST for me. The hooks into the subsystems invariably are not working correctly be it like xdg preferences or finding things that are global, its nice to package things into their own sandboxes but those sandboxes have not played well with my wider systems. I am still thankful for snap getting me recent copies of popular software on my aged debian installs however.

can't speak for Snap other than the nightmare it is on non-Debian based systems, but not really had any issues with Flatpak.

My biggest issues are xdg, sound thru pulse, printer stuffs, things like that which have connections in snap but don't seem to work quite right.
