So, today I made some real progress. I finally managed to start GWE:

Most of the features are there but there are still 3 big issues that prevent me to officially consider Snap supported:

  1. The Historical data dialog is not working at all because requires Gnome 3.30 (specific thread)
  2. Power limit cannot be set because it require executing pkexec nvidia-smi <bunch of attrs> on the host (specific thread). An alternative solution could be running an internal script as root (specific thread)
  3. Profiles are not created on the host XDG_CONFIG_HOME folder (specific thread)

@kenvandine @zyga-snapd any suggestion regarding the point 2 and 3?
