This makes Snaps super appealing to software developers as the effort they save packaging their app can be better spent on improving it. Snaps are a universal package format that can work with most major Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch Linux.īecause Snaps are universal apps that run anywhere, app developers don’t have to create separate installer packages for separate Linux distros they just create one Snap, and know it will run everywhere.

You can install the Skype Snap app on Ubuntu and other Linux distros, including Linux Mint, Fedora and Solus. Not that it’s just for Ubuntu users, mind. ‘Snaps allow us to push the latest features straight to our users, no matter what distribution they happen to use’
