Your app everywhere, just in a snap
summary
Snaps package apps as mountable squashfs bundles managed by snapd (which itself runs as a snap), letting publishers push updates on any cadence while users get sandboxing via strict confinement or full-system access via classic snaps. Examples shown: a production-grade Blender snap and a recoverable Home Assistant snap for Raspberry Pi, printer drivers delivered as snaps and integrated into GNOME (targeted for Ubuntu 23.04). Snap features include auto-refresh with upcoming ability to hold revisions for stable infrastructure.
