snapcraft VS signal-desktop

Back in the day, I used snapd, which is similar to Mac's Homebrew.

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.

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

Linux Mints App Store is full of GUI programs, Snap Store ist full of it, Flathub is full of it.

You are being lazy. But I recommend bringing your ass directly to snapcraft.io and reading those documents in the Learn section!!

https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft - not sure, but looks like a building tools for snaps

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.

The AGPLv3 only requires that you make the source available, that can even be on request. But that's not what's going on here. The code used to build their snap [is available](https://github.com/snapcrafters/signal-desktop/blob/master/s...), and they just tear apart the official .deb to repackage, meaning you can offer the source just by pointing people upstream, that's valid and often done.

Would it be possible to update the Signal branding and license? They changed a while ago but Snap Store kept the old ones.
