Yeah. Im not a fan of snaps. I like the flatpaks. They seem easier to control the permissions. But I prefer the good old debs personally.
I am surprised though that I'm using Ubuntu 23.04 and only left the Firefox snap installed. Everything else is Flatpak and deb. And it's surprisingly smooth for not being a long term support release. Lol.
My favorite is still Pop!_OS though. I like KDE but it gives me too many knobs and buttons to push. I tend to break things when I play around with those.
