pacman and the AUR or Appimage? Throw in firejail if you want sandboxing.
I have yet to find a piece of software that was only available as a snap package.
Also snapd is available from the AUR.
- johnisgood 7y agoUnfortunately I did find such a piece of software. Is there a way to get the direct download link to a snap? Perhaps a manual way of downloading and installing a snap, that would suffice. I ran into issues (version incompatibility which in itself is not a problem, snap made it a problem) and they made me give up on installing a product that was available ONLY as a snap. They (some company) used to release their crapware as .deb and .rpm before which was extremely easy to extract and use myself (I would just download the .deb file, then do: ar x crapware.deb && tar xvf data.tar.xz), but now it is snap-only. I could not find any direct links on Snapcraft. I do not like this direction, to be honest.
