Today, one of the people in charge of Canonical, Zygmunt Krynicki, has been pleased to officially announce that the new Snap packages are now available on other Gnu / Linux distributions. The last distribution that can use snap packages now is Fedora.
Apparently the boys of Canonical have managed to bring snap packages to Fedora for those who do not want to use Flatpak, something similar to what the Fedora guys have done with Flatpak. The installation of the snap packages will be done through the COPR repository, a repository that will have to be enabled and then install the snapD 2.0.10 package, which will make the snap packages work in Fedora.
Fedora, Debian and Arch Linux can now use snap packages in their distributions
But Fedora is not the only distribution that has already incorporated snap packages. During the past weekend, Arch Linux has also announced that its users have support for snap packages, a support that will make both the derived versions as well as Arch Linux itself able to work with snap packages and all their virtues. To do this, the Arch Linux user just has to run pacman followed by the name "snapD" and the installation of SnapD 2.0.10 will begin.
If to these distributions, we add the Debian platform, We can say that snap packages are enabled for most users who use Gnu / Linux on their computers.. Something that we did not expect in such a short period of time. Even so, we must remember that snap packages still have a small spectrum, that is, they do not have as many applications as the old packages and the current repositories of the main distributions.
Now you just need to OpenSUSE Incorporates Snap Packages Into Your Distribution, Unknown topic at the moment, but at the rate it is going, maybe before the end of the week we can see the snap packages in OpenSUSE.
