Public bug reported:

The node snap has no stable channel. So if you type `sudo snap install
node`, you get:

$ sudo snap install node
error: snap "node" is not available on stable but is available to install on
       the following channels:

       edge       snap install --edge node

       Please be mindful pre-release channels may include features not
       completely tested or implemented. Get more information with 'snap info
       node'.

While something like `$ sudo snap install node --classic
--channel=14/stable` could work, but is not suggested.

I think this is a big papercut, as a new user might think no stable
release exists.
