I have very limited experience with SNAP on Ubuntu. It's been generally
good, but not completely problem free. I have thought about trying to
create a SNAP for GnuCash 3.0, but first I'll have to get it to build
cleanly in the native environment, something has so far eluded me.
As I understand it, applications installed as a SNAP package are
self-contained and sandboxed. So, in theory, a SNAP of GnuCash should
install alongside an existing version from repository and never the
'twain shall meet.
In reality -- I don't know. But I know one way to find out...
Backups, I think would be the order of the day if anyone is going to
pursue this.

Hello Everyone:
I am currently running LInux Mint 18.2 and GC 2.6.17 (the latest from
getdebs.net).
Recently, I was reading the Linux Mint blog which mentioned a new
package manager called Snap, described as a self-contained package
manager containing all dependencies. I checked Synaptic and found Snapd
and installed it
I used Snapd to install a new (to me) web browser called Brave. After
the installation completed, I went to applications but there was no
listing for Brave. Not what I expected, but no big deal.
I then did a listing of Snap packages and found Gnucash 2.6.21 listed.
Assuming I try to install GC using Snap, would I need to uninstall GC
2.6.17 first?
Does anyone have experience with Snap?
Regards,
Les
