    Snap is basically Dockers right?

    I hated it and it made me switch to debian, I don't see the point to install all dependencies for each apps, I guess they don't want to deal with package dependencies anymore, so let's install the same version of python 10 times

    It's supposedly containerisation, but not really docker. After all, docker itself merely presents the OS's underlying feature in a somewhat more accessible way (keyword: somewhat).

    Snap is more like a big ecosystem around that idea that breaks everything that should work in that context, is a security nightmare and is sold as "work anywhere" but really only work in one place, which developers could have targeted in the beginning without having to rely on Snap to begin with.

    I would actually benefit from beig able to keeps different versions of dependencies rn. Got a deprecated software wich forces me to exclude a package from my updates.
