Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

Flathub – The Linux App Store
> CLI tools do not implement auto-complete themselves. What you are seeing are auto-complete scripts for your shell that make network connections.
nit: This is incorrect. Robust auto-complete scripts call the actual program to provide completions.
That is what Flatpak does. It is Flatpak itself that makes the network connections.
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/blob/main/completion/flat...
Not that it would make any differencen if it was implemented in Bash seeing as the Bash script is also provided by Flatpak.

The only performance impact I know of is with the seccomp filter in CPU-bound tasks: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4187
Skimming through the recent comments, there might be a way to optimize some of it.

Snaps. Why? Please Stop
Oh don't get me started on that. I use Firefox on a work machine and I spent a number of hours troubleshooting why it couldn't access the Internet when I was connected on VPN.
I suspected it had something to do with snapd, so I downloaded the .tar.gz release of Firefox and it worked. I kept investigating and figured it must have something to do with snap.firefox.firefox apparmor profile because the VPN client was symlinking the /etc/resolv.conf to /opt/.../resolv.conf
However, updating the apparmor profile didn't help so I ultimately realized that snap has a hardcoded list of mounts that it mounts into the app container [1] and there's no way to change this.
There are a number of reasons to hate on snapd, but this almost made me flip the table.

DEAR UBUNTU…
Of course, nothing's stopping anyone from contributing more complete selinux support. Looks like they take external pull requests in a pretty straightforward manner.

Why I like using Snaps
the system is actually open https://github.com/snapcore/snapd, its just the url they use is their own
- I am installing Ubuntu
- Firefox Cannot Open Zoom Links

Annoying message keep appearing can't fix by apt update and apt upgrade.
That's not true. The git is here.

How is this "for humans" in any reasonable universe? The firefox Snap mess should have a better solution.
thanks for that. Following your link I arrived at https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/12495 which covers the code. 22 commits, 19 files touched, this was a big job which indicates a little bit of a design miss, it will be very good to have this. It's the last remaining piece of "firefox snap sucks" I think.
