Which is what I used for years, but recently discovered that Certbot now requires snapd to be installed. I did that and snapd bricked my server: it wouldn't start until I uninstalled it. That's when I switched to Caddy.
That's very definitely not true. Perhaps they're defaulting to Snap for convenience, but Certbot is a cross-platform Python program, and can just be installed via pip: https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=nginx&os=pip
Non-Ubuntu distros also often have standard packages in their repos with no reference to Snap, and EFF also distributes a Docker container with Certbot pre-configured, if Docker is your thing.

Perhaps I had other options the website didn't make me aware of, but it seemed like enough of a hassle that I just dropped it.
