All I want to say is: Use the Snaps but do not mess up with Apt / Deb.
As I posted in the links below, transforming the Apt into a Snap wrapper is a HUGE mistake that will charge a big price very soon.
Snap is really a nice tech and it’s impossible to stop it’s usage. It’s really nice to think about a very compact and secure system with a small set of libs and Snaps to be a source of new apps. But if an app is not supported by apt/deb anymore just deprecate it and moves on, as it was done with Ubuntu 12.04.
Ps.: Sorry if someone already said that but i got here late and i don’t have time to go through all the messages.
