Dont know if it is a AI response, but one of my friends had a M1 and we couldn't watch a movie because VLC wasn't ported yet.

Just some weird things with Snaps that made me "snap" :P Like, Installing Chromium with snap, and then it doesn't have access to file drop which is something I use like 20 times a day. This easily adds 30 minutes to my work. Or sharing my screen I have to click 4 buttons in a slow and clunky manner.

Snap, flatpack and the like are not really sorted out yet and possibly never will be. Best to avoid them and if you cant install from your distro's repo than compile it yourself.

The issue with your friend and their M1 was probably because he was running linux on it and not OSX? he surely could have watched a movie with the native OSX apps if that was not the case.
