optional tips you might want to consider

• pause auto update / refresh of all snap packages

Q&A why are you using both snap and flatpak?

I tried to only use flatpak, but had some problems with following packages

• neovim

Neovim in apt is severely outdated, PPA version is outdated and flatpak version is TERRIBLE, buggy and overly sandboxed. Building .deb package with "dpkg -i" means it won't update.

• steam

Installing via flatpak or apt steam-installer didn't worked, since it kept giving me unmet dependencies error. Building .deb package with "dpkg -i" means it won't update. I WILL CHECK LATER. Until then, I have to use snap version.

• figma-linux

Can't install via apt or flatpak. Building .deb package with "dpkg -i" means it won't update.

I would love to only use flatpak and get away from snap, But it is what it is. I will re-check in the future if I can replace those packages with non-snap versions and finally be snap-free.
