   Normally, all I use is a distro/s repo/s, incl non-free and other such.   
      
   Since I mostly use a Ub derivative Mint, I also feel free to use various   
   .ppa/s for the specific release.   
      
   But, I also use Debian offshoots such as LMDE and Sparky.   
      
   I do NOT like to compile at all.   
      
   I /would/ use such as flatpak if it were my only avenue other than   
   compile, but I am more strongly anti-Snap, so I would remove Snap from a   
   Ub flavor or such as Neon.   
      
   I mostly prefer package managers such as Synaptic or Muon over Discover   
   or Software sources, so I would keep Snap out of that in favor of flatpak.   
      
   I think Ub has taken the wrong direction w/ its Snap   
   affection/affliction.  I think Mint has taken the correct direction in   
   breaking w/ Ub over that issue.
