Snaps aren’t as bad as people make them out to be. The only problem in Kubuntu is thflathead. Independent app to manage Snap security and access like flatseal. There is one, but you gotta install so much dependencies that you almost end up with the whole Gnome desktop. Otherwise it’s a great solution for use in Ubuntu Core for example.
That’s not inherently bad. With Flatpak, you can pull your applications from any server, without any verification that the software hasn’t been tampered with. At least with Snap there is some control over that, no?
Also, I can’t tell you how many times flatpaks failed to download due to server errors. This hasn’t hasn’t happened with Snaps yet.
For the record, I do prefer Flatpaks over Snaps for its ease of use, access controls, and control over when I update my software. This is something I have found difficult with Snaps.

I do prefer Flatpaks though.
the problem with snap is that it’s centralized around canonical’s server
