The title is a quote from Mastodon. I’ve always seen dislike towards snap so I was taken back when I saw this stance. The person who wrote this was referring to Tuxedo Laptops.
What are your thoughts on this?

Outside of certbot, I cannot think of anything that requires snapd over flatpak. I think certbot also has a PIP installation method anyways. I think it makes sense for everyone but Canonical to simply disable it or remove it by default. It’s not personal, flatpak won the format war outside a few niche programs.

I can only get it to work via snap and on Ubuntu. I’ve tried Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, and NixOS for distro and both manual and snap. It doesn’t even have a flatpak.
Use the OCI through podman or docker.
Utter bullshit…
The cherry on top:
That’s an interesting comment from a guy that used to work for Canonical, and then went anti-snap pretty hard, to the point that he made this:
Mint is anti consumer because you have to enable snap
Arch is anti-consumer because it doesn’t come with anything.
Gentoo is anti-consumer because I’m still waiting for it to compile
