Same for me, snaps work everytime, flatpacks rarely do.
Firefox would like a word….
Forced snap+Firefox is hell
Not for me, it always works smoothly.
I agree that the decision to force users to use firefox as a snap and take away their ability to use it as a .deb goes against the linux spirit in a meaningful way, but the firefox snap has been working really well for a while now and canonicals 'political' games don't take away from snap's fundamental improvements over normal packages.
