    why were things like snap and flatpak created?

    If you’re using a stable distro, the repo will end up with programs that are years out of date. So instead of compiling manually, you use flatpak/snap/appimage/nix/guix as an extra package manager. They also allow devs to release cross-distro packages.

    I barely understand docker

    although bloated.
