Benefits of Snap Packages

Snap packages have a number of benefits over traditional Linux software packages (e.g. DEB or RPM):

  • Snap packages carry all of their own dependencies, so you don’t need to worry about the specific versions of shared libraries installed on your machine
  • Snap packages can be installed without giving the publisher root access to the host
