All that because they made a distro based in Ubuntu but got rid of snap? Ok...
Out of the loop here, but can't just people install regular Ubuntu to use Snap?
Well yes. And I'm pretty sure they can just install snap itself.
Utter bullshit...
The cherry on top:
That's an interesting comment from a guy that used to work for Canonical, and then went anti-snap pretty hard, to the point that he made this:
Mint is anti consumer because you have to enable snap
Arch is anti-consumer because it doesn't come with anything.
Gentoo is anti-consumer because I'm still waiting for it to compile
Outside of certbot, I cannot think of anything that requires snapd over flatpak. I think certbot also has a PIP installation method anyways. I think it makes sense for everyone but Canonical to simply disable it or remove it by default. It's not personal, flatpak won the format war outside a few niche programs.

I can only get it to work via snap and on Ubuntu. I've tried Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, and NixOS for distro and both manual and snap. It doesn't even have a flatpak.
Use the OCI through podman or docker.
If you need snapd, install it. It's not like I now consider you a degenerate for using snaps. It's just a packaging format. I just understand why only Canonical enables it by default. If anything its annoying there is a handful of apps that provide snaps but not flatpaks.
