Note that the availability of snaps is both distro and release -independent. > At least for Ubuntu 20.04, Letsencrypt does not require you to install the Python stack for certbot anymore and switched to a Snapd package. To be clear: the snap is available and maintained by upstream. If you want the latest version of Certbot directly from upstream then the snap is the easiest way to get it. However Ubuntu 20.04 itself also ships the deb as packaged so you can use that if you want, and the "pip install" method in a virtualenv also works (but IMHO is the least maintainable method; it's more useful as a building block for other mechanisms).
