It’s that time of the month again where we round up our top ten snaps from the last month! For those that may not know, snaps are a new way for developers to package their apps, bringing with it many advantages over the more traditional package formats such as .deb, .rpm, and others. They are secure, isolated and allow apps to be rolled back should an issue occur. Snaps really are the future of Linux application packaging!
So for the month of November we’ve had a great selection – everything from vikings, neurons to decentralised websites using Bitcoin crypto!
