I did not ever try to install snap because it's an Ubuntu/Canonical
thing, so I went with Flatpak, which is well suited if you want to avoid
building stuff yourself.

For snap on Debian I think you must look at "snapd" (seems to come with
the executable "snap") - and seems "gnome-software-plugin-snap" is a
graphical front end.

Good - IME it's really easy to use.
