> I implore you, do not use these packaging tools. Don’t add their services to your Linux distributions, don’t use apps packaged this way, and don’t ship apps that use them. Mass containerization and alternate runtimes cannot possibly be the future of desktop apps on Linux. If this is really the direction it’s going, the future will be so shitty that we’ll all end up back on macOS or Windows.

As a long time desktop user, I've dropped Ubuntu for Debian because of this. At some point in the past Ubuntu seemed like it was going all in on snaps. I don't know what they're doing now, but I don't care any more.
