Firefox and dotnet are snaps, Vim is a > flatpak. That simply means that you can choose which package you use for some of those applications. For example, when I enabled Flatpak on Ubuntu, there were several instances of Firefox available. One was deb, the other two were Flatpak and Snap. I'd go with deb for speed, Snap for security and Flatpak as a compromise between both. In the end, I don't really see much of a reason for Snap to exist. It does little other than enable Canonical to have influence over how applications are distributed. Why anyone would need that is beyond me. Unless someone can demonstrate, convincingly so, that Canonical is synonymous with stability, and that it is the first choice of distribution for workstations, I don't see the point. -- God be with you, CrudeSausage John 14:6
