I’d bet most ubuntu user don’t know the difference between snap and deb, tho.
I didn't until apps started breaking. The snap version of steam, Firefox, and Unity (I think?) all started to have issues. When I googled around people would often ask "deb or snap"? I uninstalled the snap packages and installed the deb packages and most of my issues went away.
I ultimately switched to Linux Mint because I kept having stability issues and I was just desperate for a solution. But snap was not a great experience for me.
It would of been a little less bad if they hadn't forced it on everyone over night. It also didn't help that it had a ton of complexity and overhead.
I didn't use Flatpak for the longest time as I was scared from years prior.
Exactly, wouldn't most of the people who really care already have moved on from Ubuntu?
