    If something exists in native form, use that. If it doesn’t (and there is at least some reason for a containerized version that brings all its needed dependencies for developers) there’s flatpack or appimage.

Even for stuff that is available natively and should just be installed via the normal package manager. And to make really sure, nobody is avoiding their crap, they also redirect commands, so for example using apt to install your browser automatically redirects your command to snap install…
