Ubuntu 20.04 LTS’ snap obsession has snapped me off of it
Users and groups are not enough to secure Linux, especially on a desktop environment.Snaps have a permissions system backed by AppArmor and Seccomp that confines the snap to a sandbox with limited privileges based on a security profile.You can read about it here:- https://core.docs.ubuntu.com/en/guides/intro/security#headin...- https://snapcraft.io/docs/interface-managementFlatpak does have a sandbox but in practice, many flatpaks do not use it securely. You can read about it here: https://flatkill.org/AppImage does not seem that security is one of its goals.So, for the time being I'll keep using snaps. They're a great idea :)So, tl;dr: Snaps are not only about packaging. They confine software to a sandbox with limited privileges.
