snap was not a choice but a fate: we disabled snapd, then gnome-core
pulled a Firefox snap that froze the install for thirty minutes. The
previous fix imposed "deb". Three answers are now offered.
deb nothing but .deb, epiphany-browser as the browser. Default,
and lightest: nothing extra to download.
flatpak Flatpak tooling as well, WITHOUT the Flathub remote or any
install. The machine is ready, the admin picks its remotes.
snap Ubuntu's default, snapd left running and Firefox as a snap.
It is the only mode where snapd is not disabled -- disabling
it was precisely the cause of the freeze.
The question is only asked when it means something: at least one
graphical VM on a distro shipping snapd, Ubuntu alone here. A server
pulls no snap, and Debian ships none. The TUI greys the choice out and
says why; the CLI does not ask.
Verified on a 26.04 VM: snapd is indeed preinstalled (2.75.2), flatpak
and its GNOME Software plugin are packaged, and firefox-esr does not
exist on Ubuntu.

snap n'était plus un choix mais une fatalité : on coupait snapd, puis
gnome-core tirait un Firefox-snap qui figeait l'installation trente
minutes. Le correctif précédent imposait « deb ». Trois réponses sont
maintenant offertes.
deb rien que des .deb, epiphany-browser comme navigateur. Défaut,
et le plus léger : rien de plus à télécharger.
flatpak l'outillage Flatpak en plus, SANS dépôt Flathub ni
installation. La machine est prête, l'administrateur choisit
ses dépôts.
snap le défaut d'Ubuntu, snapd laissé actif et Firefox en snap.
C'est le seul mode où snapd n'est pas coupé — l'y couper
était précisément la cause du blocage.
La question n'est posée que lorsqu'elle a un sens : au moins une VM
graphique sur une distribution qui livre snapd, Ubuntu seule ici. Un
serveur ne tire aucun snap, et Debian n'en livre pas. La TUI grise le
choix et dit pourquoi ; la CLI ne le demande pas.
Vérifié sur une VM 26.04 : snapd y est bien préinstallé (2.75.2),
flatpak et son greffon GNOME Software sont empaquetés, et firefox-esr
n'existe pas sur Ubuntu.

ERPLibre
ERPLibre is a CRM/ERP platform including automated installation, maintenance, and development of open source modules of the Odoo community version. It is a "soft-fork" of the Odoo Community Edition (OCE), meaning it aims at contributing back upstream. It is based on a set of production-ready modules, supported by the Odoo Community Association (OCA) and an ecosystem of specialized companies. This solution ensures digital sovereignty in a local environment while integrating pre-trained Generative Transformers (GPT), bringing an additional dimension to data management and automation.
