Because hearing things like `sudo apt install chromium` actually aliases to using snap is disconcerting to say the least if true.
But I'd like to throw in a recommendation for Fedora. It includes Flatpak by default (which to me as always been the least objectionable sandboxing system) but nothing comes as a flatpak by default. You have to explicitly choose to use it.
Fedora's hardware support is second to none, and even supports in-OS BIOS updates.
I highly recommend it.
However, if you want to use chromium-browser you are out of luck. It is no longer available as a .deb package.
