“Canonical only having snap releases was harmful to adoption. I liked using lxd, but uninstalled snapd (forgetting lxd used it), and my vms obviously stopped. Snap wouldn’t reinstall properly (various inscrutable errors), so I moved it all over to libvirt. I’d still be happily using lxd if it weren’t for Canonical’s snap-pushing. That’s my anecdote of one.”

(I’m not mkj so…, but I think most users are quite against enforcement of snapd)
I only use snaps if it’s not in my repo list, not a flatpak, or not in the obs, then I’ll use snap. The LSP servers are snaps which make it easy to install, but that’s about it. Id rather avoid both and go purely with repo packages
Id like to update this to include nixpkgs as well as a last resort before snaps
