qk4-li3 I see Snap is getting a bit of a bad rap.
depends on who you ask. some people inherently trust the Canonical brand as far as oversight. I personally find flatpaks more maneuverable and god knows I don't want two container packages on my budgie, so Flatpak it is. They've always done right by me. On the other hand, a Snap enthusiast will likely say the same thing.
I wonder what a poll would reveal and what how it could be interpreted? but those kinds of discussions rage on in reddit where you can get some measure of perspective.
@zmaint I should have that out. one chromium is a flatpak, the other repo brave. never the twain shall meet hopefully. the reason I brought that up is I was trying to make spell check work in the flatpak chromium (ungoogled) and took a suggestion to bury the .bdic file in the repo chrome folder because that's where the flatpak would look first. which seems preposterous looking back...
I also found the appimages competent (when they launched) and used one exclusively for a certain app that was not available via flatpak (but eventually it was). I find appimages are perfectly good but occasionally
cumbersome to start so I wrote a budgie autostart command for it and things were more efficient that way.
