Reply #1 – 02 February 2021, 09:59:17 archlinux have officially no snap support , either artixlinuxwiki how to is here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Snap but artixlinux provide no .service replacement (you need run snapd deamon manually)you need install "snapd" package from AUR. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/apparmor is provided for openrc and runit (you need install service too: apparmor-openrc or apparmor-runit). you need properly configure it and run it on boot! --> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AppArmor Last Edit: 02 February 2021, 10:05:45 by alium

Reply #2 – 02 February 2021, 10:18:58 completely personal note:it amazes me that people install artixlinux because systemd is evil. But they are calmly willing to install a snap (a same evil like systemd). The snap philosophy (the program and all libraries distributed in one package ala Windows) goes against the philosophy of unix/linux (and shared libraries), not to mention the security risk of snap (non-updated libraries). But it's your choice ;-) 7 Likes
