Be aware that snap either requires systemd or makes it extremely
difficult to use without systemd. Void Linux users need not apply.

Even if you're currently happy as a clam with systemd, consider that
systemd every month subsumes more and more of the OS, and there may
come a time when you want to switch to a better init system. At that
point snap stops working.

Why not use Flatpack instead?
