I’m on Arch linux trying to install anbox with the command “sudo snap install --classic anbox-installer” but I get that classic installs are not supported by my computer. Is there anyway around this?
Arch package maintainer chose to remove the /snap directory which is required for classic snaps. This is entirely within the maintainer’s decision to do. As snapd upstream developer we can instead optionally enable classic confinement if the /snap directory exists or if it is a valid symlink to /var/lib/snapd/snap.
Thus, as a user you can then create the missing symlink and restore this feature to operational status.
You can expect this feature in 2.27 which should be released this week.
