  • flatpak

    Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework

  • Ah? Maybe you like your fonts with a touch of aliasing?

  • snapd

    The snapd and snap tools enable systems to work with .snap files.

  • Second, and I hate to take the side of Canonical, but you're so full of falsehoods I might as well. Snapd (the client end) is open source, it's the store side that's not: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd

  • xdg-desktop-portal

    Desktop integration portal

  • https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/655 should fix that hopefully. The more people try and use flatpak and expose shortcomings, the more features it gains.
