What's your opinion on Snap/Flatpak, and why?
I know snap is fairly unpopular in the Linux community, and I've seen mixed responses regarding Flatpak. I wanted to know, what's the general opinion of people in this community regarding this 2 package managers?

I like having options, but I wished they were better. Snap has been nothing but trouble for me, I had Authy break on me for weeks until I found that it couldn't handle a symlink in my home directory. Flatpaks just take forever to install and update, and it sucks that there's weird sharp edges around flatpaks permissions that cause some apps to break. App Image have been pretty okay, especially when you have that integrator tool, just would be nice if they could update themselves.
IDK. I kinda miss PPAs being the norm.
