Snap/Flatpak Unified Manager

[mikejmorgan-ai]

Problem (Pain Point #3)

Snap vs Flatpak confusion and "forced" Snap adoption frustrates users.

apt install triggering a snap download is seen as "deceptive"

Solution

Build a unified manager that:

1. Shows true package source (deb vs snap vs flatpak)
2. Compares options for any app
3. Manages permissions (Flatseal-like)
4. Removes snap redirects if desired
5. Storage analysis by format

Bounty: $50 (+ $50 bonus after funding)
