Hey,
I used Ubuntu a few years ago and remember that for installing almost any software, my go to was to just putin the CLI. Very rarely did i have to unpack any tarballs or download something that ended in .deb. But now a lot of stuff like Steam, Telegram, Thunderbird is not available through a PPA and things like FreeCAD are massively out of date - but almost anyone is offering a flatpak and/or snap. Did something happen that made PPAs uncool or something? I distinctly remember being underwhelmed by the Software Store on Ubuntu and the snaps it offered and how it worked in general.
What advantage do flatpak and snap bring to the table compared to a PPA?
