I'm pretty happy I switched to arch (with brief use of guix system) after the push for snaps. The slowness of snaps, the compatibility issues etc annoyed me sufficiently to switch. Having had bad experience with snaps I thought all those app packaging options are similarly flawed. So I wasn't very hopeful to try vscodium(vscode minus Microsoft) as a flatpak on guix. However, it run surprisingly well. I still dislike flatpak polluting my list of mount points and running a bunch of services for one app, but at least from the typical user side it responds fast. It is fast to start and the only compatibility issue I encountered is that python scripts run from vscodium(vscode) can't access cuda for some reason. I loved the idea of a well curated modernised version of Debian that contains recent packages and is stable. Unfortunately canonical made too many mistakes in its execution of the idea.
