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.

Calling it hate is an exaggeration , people are entitled to their opinion and informing other people by criticizing snap.
Another advantage not mentioned is that snap is a product of canonical (a for profit company talking about an IPO for years), flathub is managed by the gnome foundation (a US registered non profit, which should provide some legal protection).
I think hate is the right word. Snap sucks for a long list of reasons, a few years ago it was pushed down everyone's throats whilst still being broken (it would even break OS upgrades due to being broken, even if you didn't even use it, fun times) and then canonical started redirecting apt to snap... Yeah, hate is the right word, same with systemd
