I know snap is fairly unpopular in the Linux community, and I’ve seen mixed responses regarding Flatpak. I wanted to know, what’s the general opinion of people in this community regarding this 2 package managers?

    I like flatpak more than snap usually, for better performance, theme integration, hackability, and permission management. But recently I tried to install flatpak apps on an old HDD machine, and found out that the app startup time is so unbearably slow that I had to give up. Snap (contrary to what I heard) is just fine. Maybe because snap moves the mount time to boot time?
