As far as I know, technically speaking, Snap, the application side, is fully foss, but not the server side, meaning you can only install Snap packs integrated into the system from Canonical directly. And this is a big pain point for most.
Snap has a far better permission system and avoids many of the security pitfalls of Flatpak, but it being hardcoded to use Canonical’s proprietary server is BS. Also forcing people to use Snap is BS.
Is there any tutorial/article on those security pitfalls and permission system? I just build my packages when they aren’t available wanted to try flatpak for some time.
