From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Flatpaks aren't very relevant for servers if I am not wrong but Canonical definitely tties to push Snaps for that usecase, I feel like other container technologies like Docker or Podman are a lot more relevant in that context and containerization in general is really nice especially for server use and not that hard to wrap your head around! ;)
Docker requires management and some setup. A server snap just works, it's updated automatically and rolls back when necessary.
It's just a breeze. I use it for nextcloud and I'm safe for years with no maintenance from my side at all.
Auto updates are not an option for anything mission critical. Every update must be tested in isolation first or you might fuck things up beyond repair.
Updates are atomic and if something goes wrong it rolls back automatically
Not everything that goes wrong might be counted as wrong by the developers. Automatic updates is a no-no.
