lets assume that Ubuntu Linux from Canonical is a solid platform. However, snapd is intrusive and still not stable IMO. The implementation of libc as a snap component, and the Firefox Browser as a snap component, are notably onerous. Some linux downstream from Ubuntu remove snapd completely.
JetBrains -- please support installation on Ubuntu minus the snapd system. thanks in advance
- Skhalar 3y agoI run kubuntu on my home computer with snapd removed and have 0 issues running JetBrain products. What issue are you having ? I've installed IntelliJ via Toolbox. Prior to that I did install it using the archive they provide.
- tcmart14 3y agoSame here. I've got Jetbrain's Toolbox on a Debian system, no snapd, no problems.
- linuxalien 3y agoI've not used Toolbox that other commenters are mentioning, but there is an unofficial ppa. https://github.com/JonasGroeger/jetbrains-ppa https://github.com/JonasGroeger/jetbrains-ppa. I used to do basically the same thing, build our own deb packages for use in our org, and the PPA works perfectly.
- thegrim000 3y agoYou can just download the software from their site as an archive with pre-built executables in it and it works just fine on Ubuntu.
- LandR 3y agoThanks, I had no idea !
- MrDresden 3y agoJust download it directly from Jetbrains then, this isn't an issue. Pycharm's archive for instance can be found here https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/other.html https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/other.html
