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

System backup software question.
What system backup software can you recommend? In the past on Ubuntu I tested Timeshift, and it looks really cool. But the "main problem" is thing, that some options not work in Fedora: https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift, specifically BTRFS. What does it mean, this is a problem?

How to include /root and /home/user in timeshift snapshots
What I tried is to add "exclude" : [ "+ /home/user1/**", "+ /root/**", "+ /home/user2/**", ], to /etc/timeshift.json as per this post but the files within those folders still aren't included in the backup.
