Not a problem at all. Any package in the repositories should work just fine. The only problem with Thunderbird (and any other GTK app) is that it's likely to bring a bunch of libraries along with it. > Do snap package installations work on Lubuntu? The important thing to remember here is the sentiment behind the statement above: Lubuntu *IS* Ubuntu. Ubuntu, ultimately, is the software in the repositories. The thing that makes the canonical (here the lowercase is intentional) Ubuntu OS what it is is a particular selection of packages. This is also true with Lubuntu and every other flavor of Ubuntu. But they all have the repositories in common. That said, you can most certainly install a snap package. There are those in the Lubuntu team that have been a little resistant to the idea of snaps, in particular the extra overhead required by `snapd` so we [blacklist it][1] by default, but by some stroke of luck it ended up on the images and installed systems anyways, so have at it. ☺ [1]: https://phab.lubuntu.me/source/lubuntu-seed/browse/cosmic/?grep=snap -- @wxl | polka.bike C563 CAC5 8BE1 2F22 A49D 68F6 8B57 A48B C4F2 051A -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
