Snap installs debian files and crashes, but platform is fedora.

Opera snap has been crashing for a few updates now, and the dump seems to indicate that is install a debian architexture, and not an rpm arcitexture.
I prefere not to use snap, but the snap version is the only version that supports playing all video formats, while the fedora version one has to copy all sorts of .so files to make it play youtube format videos. so snap is easier at this stage.
How can I force snap to rather install the rpm architecture?
I have tried some other advise like installing the correct mesa libraries, but it seems the only thing I see is that the current snap version it is geared toward debian, and not fedora (rpm based)Here is an extract of the dump from the crash:

@starchyme If you don't mind the looks, there is an official Opera GX as flatpak, and everything works out of the box. I just needed to reopen the browser to be able to watch netflix

@gufonseca iinstalled... crashes on open...
Also tried developer now, and they al crash on the libc.so.6 library. i should maybe check that library out.Module /snap/opera-developer/447/gnome-platform/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.33 from deb gcc-14-14.2.0-4ubuntu2~24.04.amd64

@starchyme There's a hidden RPM package for Opera. I don't know why when we click the download button it only downloads the .deb file. I had to manually search for the .rpm file and then it showed up. If you don't mind not having the sandbox, you could try it. Snap is not really meant to work outside of Ubuntu because it relies on dependencies that Ubuntu uses, like AppArmor. https://www.opera.com/pt-br/computer/thanks?gaprod=opera&par=id%3D77411%26location%3D415

Thanks for all those who provided advise for the rpm package. I am already running that, but as mentioned, it has a video player problem with major sites like youtibe and facebook, and I have to mnually update libraries to fix it everytime after an update. The snap version fixed that requirement, but now since it seems to be doing something wierd with debian libraries, I am back on the RPM verion with that cumbersome condition. Opera reported way back, they cannot fix it because of some mp3 or video encoders that they are not allowed to use. to due copyight or propriety licensing or somethig ( but strangely in snap they seem to overcome that)... so we either revert to firefox in some cases like I do, or continue to fix the libraries manually. I like Opera for some features, but it has it quirks.
