Far more Linux distributions support FlatPak (Linux Mint, Fedora, PopOS etc) than ones that support Snap (eg Ubuntu) by a wide margin.

FlatPak only covers client orientated applications, whereas Snap does the entire Kitchen Sink as the article points out. This is one of the major reasons why FlatPak provides a much better user experience than Snap.
