[arch-general] snapcraft.io IMO gets across the message that snaps are appropriate for Arch Linux

That is off-top for this list and apart from this untrue.

I'm a part of the Ubuntu community. For your very information, Ubuntu
for servers and desktop computers is based upon apt, not snaps. Some
issues can't be solved by using snaps, this is the wrong approach for
Ubuntu, too. However, this is OT for this list. Please don't claim that
I misused their list, this is untrue. I corrected wrong statements in
this and several other threads. Wrong statements that usually are
completely unrelated to Arch Linux.

IIRC there wasn't a thread about snappy, but about a similar approach.
However, I didn't notice concerns about misleading usage of the Arch
logo on the Ubuntu website, but I might not have read the complete
thread.
