I would rather run literally everything in docker than use snaps
"Hang on boss, I have to restart the 'ls' container! Just a jiff!"
I recently tried Ubuntu after many years, needed Docker and it told me to install it as a Snap, I thought, OK, whatever. I'm anything but a newbie, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out where the volumes were actually kept. That was the primary reason to abandon this experiment.
Sounds crazy. Lol docker is definitely an insane way to run desktop apps, but it's the insane way that I'm comfortable with 😹
To containerize desktop apps I prefer Apptainer/Singularity, that's pretty portable, usersapce, and requires less tinkering to integrate with the system than Docker. I use it for Zoom and other closed source crap. AppImage is probably the more standard solution for that that's very similar technologically, but I'm already familiar with Apptainer from work.
I've never used those! Gonna have to check them out
