Clem Lefebvre, head of the Linux Mint project, has mentioned that the chromium snap package acts as a backdoor and installs the Ubuntu store without user consent. If you want to know the reason for dumping snap support, you can read this article. With Linux Mint 20, the Mint dev team has decided to disable the snap support and block installation of Ubuntu snap packages by default.Īs you can see in the picture above, if you run the command, it throws an error saying the “snapd package is missing or has been obsolete”, “Package snapd is not available” and “Package snapd has no installation candidate.” This is because APT Package Manager blocks the installation stating.
In Linux Mint 20, if you want to enable snap support to install snap packages, the usual command “sudo apt install snapd” to install snapd does not work.
