When running Linux, snap is one of the most powerful features you can enjoy. It allows running the same app over multiple platforms without needing to change the code of the program the slightest bit. That’s why you can also call snap packages as universal apps for the Linux platform. Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux distros for its simplicity and usability. Let’s check out on using snap packages on Ubuntu.
Snap packages are managed by the snap core, a powerful app manager with tons of powerful features. It allows running any snap package on any platform. There are tons of apps available as snap packages. Snap also makes the work of developers a lot easier. The devs only have to develop the snap packages and forget about making the app inter-compatible. Managing snap packages is also very easy. Just run a simple command to install/uninstall apps. No need to worry about updating the app as the “core” will always keep everything up-to-date.
