Public bug reported:

When I set my home directory to e.g. /alt/home/$USER, I cannot open
`snap-store`, the new default package manager for 20.04. When starting
it from Gnome, I just get nothing. When starting it from the command
line, I get:

$ snap-store
Sorry, home directories outside of /home are not currently supported. 
See https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/11209 for details.

How is 20.04 going to deal with home directories outside of /home if
critical parts of the system (such as the package manager) are now
Snaps? Is that configuration just not allowed anymore?

Is the upgrade smart enough to see if some users on the system can't run
Snaps and not transition the old Software Center to the Snap Store in
those cases?
