Flatpak and Snap GUI
Flatpak is only "dabatedly" better because it's well documented how to set up your own repo (which basically no one does) and it's fully open sourced stack. Where as snaps are open source, but snapcraft the central repo for them is proprietary. However you can use a different repo if you really want to as Rudra from Ubuntu Unity shows here.

Snaps can be SELF HOSTED outside of Snap Store / Snapcraft.io - why is it kept said that they cannot?
Here's an example https://gitlab.com/lol-snap/lol which is Ubuntu Unity's main dev Rudra Saraswat's snap repository.

Does anyone here use the snap versions of VS-Code, Krita, and Inkscape? Are there any issues with these snaps that I should know about?
What do you mean? Snaps CAN BE SELF HOSTED. Or what am i missing here, and why this thing is kept said? Look for example Ubuntu Unity's dev Rudra Saraswat's snap repository: https://gitlab.com/lol-snap/lol

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.

Setting Up for Java on Linux.
My personal favourite IDE for java is Intellej Idea. Apart from not demanding the extra extension, It was designed special for Java and Java related languages so it runs java smoothly with great compilation time. so lets install it. Make sure you have snap before installing it

Why is Linux so hard and anti GUI?
Linux Mints App Store is full of GUI programs, Snap Store ist full of it, Flathub is full of it.

This might seem dumb but where tf does snap put the actual files and stuff?
You are being lazy. But I recommend bringing your ass directly to snapcraft.io and reading those documents in the Learn section!!

Flutter 3 on Devuan 4: Getting started
Besides, there may be other ways to install them, although there doesn't seem no such Flatpak packages in Flathub. For example, some senerio to use some release channel or Docker / Podman. Additionally, when you use a different Linux distro where systemd is adopted and therefore can do Snaps (Snapd), you have another possibility.
