    The sandbox requires apparmor, so doesn’t work on anything else by default except OpenSUSE I think.

      Solus and Manjaro are shipping Snap installed by default and I’ve never had a problem installing snapd on fedora. All I ever had to do for that was run a single standard dnf install. Apparmor doesn’t pose the problem you think it does

        Running software unsandboxed is breaking most of the value of snap. Not only is it insecure many of the portability promises are actually broken and it can load incorrect libraries, etc.

        Fedora deleted snap from its repos years ago then it returned. It is a broken mess.

        Canonicals response has been: We don’t care, fix it yourself.

        It is an awful non-portable solution when a real portable solution exists.
