Can some one explain to me in basic terms why snaps are so disliked?

the server-side with the client-side of Snapd, which is indeed opensource (opposed to the serverside)

• mir

• snapstore

  10 59 0.0

  Obsolete super minimalist example "store" to serve snap packages

That's nice and all, but besides the complete lack of official serversoftware that can be hosted by anyone, I'm going to guess that forcing another URL would mean that it uses that repo INSTEAD OF the official one. With regular package managers and Flatpaks, that's not the case. You can add repo's in ADDITION to the originals with those. The only mention of a self-hostable snap server that I can find, is this one. However, it is an unofficial server and has been depreciated. In other words: it's not compatible/functional with the latest version of Snapd (the clientside) anymore and will remain like that.
