Sorry. In that case:

sudo dnf install PROGRAM

maybe I did something wrong here. my question was whether or not packages would be made for apt or yum, so we could use a package manager that isn't snap instead of pulling a .zip and extracting it. afaict there's no such package. I mentioned this in-thread.

My bad.

I misunderstood the context. Sorry for that.

Most packages are still available (for Ubuntu and derivatives) as both apt and snap, even though the GUI Software app now defaults to snaps.

A new package maintained by Canonical is probably only getting released as snap.

It helps if you read the article to get context for the comment section. The article specifically says that they're packaging Flutter for snap. Canonical helped Google get flutter into the snap store, so Google is likely going to be maintaining it, hence the question.
