					<description><![CDATA[Hello there, I know the article is old but it still comes in first results (I came here because a friend followed it and it did not start with various snapd related errors). You are presenting &lt;strong&gt;snap&lt;/strong&gt; as the first alternative for &lt;strong&gt;Fedora&lt;/strong&gt; ... But Fedora snap support is dying - never was that hot - (https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2019/07/12/gnome-software-in-fedora-will-no-longer-support-snapd/) and &lt;strong&gt;flatpak&lt;/strong&gt; is the goto standard nowadays. 

Btw, Other distros have also begun pulling the plug on snap support, as for example pop_os: https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/eur266/why_pop_choose_flatpak_over_snap_for_pop_2004/ (you also have the whole explanation of why others will most likely follow). To give it an even bigger light, for its steam link app, the valve only officially supports flatpak, no official snap (or any other packages).

So I think it would be nice that you present only the official ways for doing it (as described in Fedora doc: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/installing-spotify/) to avoid such issues and disappointments to new users. 

I think when making recommendations it is important they are made the fit what is best supported by the distro and its community. And overall, I think it is better to guide users better into using the more standard packaging method that Flatpak is coming to be. Not to count that snap uses a completely proprietary server-side, and is extremely invasive in distros, discouraging other distros from truly supporting it.]]></description>
