My understanding is that the base layer (similar to what FlatPak provides) is shared and downloaded by the snap manager so it is portable as long as you want to download it.

The end result should be similar to FlatPak where you have practically no dependencies as it should package almost everything.

See, that's the issue. I want my distribution to distribute the dependencies I need to run applications outside of containers. That's, like, it's main job man.
