Snaps are a dumpster fire on Ubuntu. In particular Firefox. Flatpak... I tried a dosbox flatpak and it was 3 gigs. Regular package? 3 megs. I run Linux mint to avoid them as much as possible. All of the flatpaks pretend nobody has files somewhere other than the home directory, and softlinks don't work. Have a mdadm raid in /mnt? Can't see it. So basic frequent use cases can't be supported by a "modern security and permission system". Then no thanks. All communication of this with the developers of snap, for example, are dismissed with a high amount of condescension. Which is pretty typical with most things whenever you have to deal with security. They imposed the dogma, and you have to comply to it. And the delay whenever the snap has to interact with the file system, there's like a 5 second delay every time it happens. When trying to access a SSD based file system. That is unacceptable Look we do not have infinite Moore's law steppings, or gigahertz of serial speed coming down the pipeline. Moore's law is running out. We can't be adopting some system like a stealing light, 50% of the practical performance of the user interface. Hard disc drives are going to start to not get bigger. The technologies we use for increasing the size of hard disk now already reduce the reliability of the drive. So snaps in their elk really are not something I look forward to. For now just run the distro's lake Linux mint which doesn't use them
