[RESPONDED] Debian 12 on Framework laptop 16

I’m currently using Kubuntu 22.04 on my 11th Gen Intel FW13. I’ve removed Snap and replaced it with Flatpak using GitHub - popey/unsnap: Quickly migrate from using snap packages to flatpaks .

The steps I took were:

git clone GitHub - popey/unsnap: Quickly migrate from using snap packages to flatpaks

2. ```
  cd unsnap

./unsnap

4. ```
  ./00-backup

./01-install-flatpak

6. ```
  sudo apt install plasma-discover-backend-flatpak

./03-install-flatpaks

8. ```
  ./04-remove-snaps

./99-remove-snapd

Edit /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref (you’ll need to use sudo since it’s not owned by your user account) to add:
Package: snapd
Pin: release a=*
Pin-Priority: -10

Finish is all off with: sudo apt update

I haven’t had any issues doing this, but YMMV. You should also read the documentation for unsnap. It isn’t really meant for general use, and may miss some Snap packages.

Yep, this will do it. Two things I will remind folks:

• First, if something breaks, that is going to be a community support items. Following these steps, should be fine, but I have to get that out of the way regardless.

• Use Popey’s repo - I know them, I trust them, I do not know those from forked repos. So using Alan Pope’s repo (popey) is going to be where you want to be for unsnap.
