From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Snap my ass. Snaps are broken by design as they don't use much in the way of standards
The directories are non standard and global and they use loop mounts for some reason. Software shouldn't depend on root just to run.
Except flatpak does it better and it doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. All flatpak uses is bubblewrap
What is a "system application"? If it is part of the system wouldn't you not want to sandbox it? Also selinux exists for a reason.
I'm pretty sure my knowledge isn't complete. However, I still don't see anything good about snaps
