snap
snap is a package manager in Ubuntu-based distros.
It handles a seperate set(from apt) of applications that runs in sandbox.
For example, firefox is in snap, and if you use firefox from snap (install firefox with snap install firefox), then that firefox won’t have access to your midi or webcam devices, because the snap sandbox don’t have them exposed, while if you download a build from official website, those 2 works just fine
