Snap packaging

[mhalano]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

AntiMicroX isn't available (for now, at least) on Ubuntu official repositories (original AntiMicro still is) so I have to download and install the official Debian package for each release and reinstall.

Describe the solution you'd like Would be a nice idea to have AntiMicroX packaged as a Snap together with Flatpak. Snaps support multiple distros and are easy to install and update automatically (almost like a Debian package).

Describe alternatives you've considered Add the package do Debian repository and eventually Ubuntu (my distro of choice) will import the packages, but may be take more than just one release to do that.

Thanks! Help is welcome. Do you have experience with Snap packaging? Would you help us out here?

Flatpaks support multiple distros and are easy to install (just user) and update automatically by default...

Snap also support multiple distros and is also very easy to install. May be easier, because there is no multiple repositories to worry about. I agree all snaps must be system installed, but snaps are also automatically updated a couples times per day.

Packagers often choose Snap because Flatpak is made for desktop applications only, while Snap can additionally ship libraries, server/CLI software, even kernels and much more.

Confinement is blocking something? Snap apps with strict confinement cannot access hidden files or folders.

May need to use the personal-files interface https://snapcraft.io/docs/personal-files-interface
