That's why I don't use Ubuntu, because of their over-reliance on snaps, which do NOT undergo the same quality controls as standard repository feeds. Stick with Debian, don't use untrusted snaps, appimages, or flatpaks. All of the three formats seek to circumvent the exhaustive vetting that gives Linux a significant advantage over Microsoft Windows. Wallets are especially sensitive for obvious reasons.
Personally I found appimages to be the only useful out of the three, they make running programs with many complex dependencies and configurations very simple. They should be downloaded directly from the publisher and hashes verified of course.
Yeah I agree with this. But of course for some apps they only have flatpak to get the newest version compared to the one a debian based distro can get
