I'm neither an Arch developer, nor a trusted user. I'm just an Arch user who tested building a snap and who dislikes the concept. Most likely just a minority of Arch users is interested in snaps and similar approaches. Somebody familiar with snaps and Arch Linux could provide everything needed by https://aur.archlinux.org/ . https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapcraft/ has got 2 votes only and a comment "Is there any documentation on use Snapcraft on Arch? [snip]" I prefer building DEB packages for Ubuntu and to write Arch PKGBUILDs for Arch Linux. For my needs (real-time audio) it's not worth the effort to learn how to build snaps and to workaround issues that snaps might cause. Everybody is free to contribute to Arch Linux and it's easy to see how popular the contribution is, by taking a look at the votes. However, my concerns are about misinterpreting how good snaps are supported by other distros. For Gentoo it seems to be similar, as it is for Arch Linux.
