Snap apps with strict confinement cannot access hidden files or folders (~/.steam/) in the home directory, so ProtonUp-Qt CANNOT be packaged as a working snap? I gotta once again disturb the snap-master @popey

The developer is now preparing for a snap package!

He also asked a bit of help too between the lines: “I will take a look at creating a Snap package, if anyone wants to contribute a snapcraft.yaml in the meantime, feel free to do so.”

ProtonUp-QT developer: “I’m happy to receive PRs or if anyone would like to maintain a snap package”.

Could there be someone from the snapcrafters to pick this up at some point? Or any conversation on this?

Well they’d be really up for it if there was a snapcrafter to make it: https://github.com/DavidoTek/ProtonUp-Qt/issues/123#issuecomment-2013893620

I think if someone came forward to help maintain a Snap package ...
... To this end, if you know anyone interested, be sure to spread the word.

Would be so great to have ProtonUp as a Snap right from App Center.

Came and regged to ask for this too and it’s now feasible to commit if someone would package it look: Create a snap package (the hidden files or folder access of ~/.steam/ can now be solved!) · Issue #123 · DavidoTek/ProtonUp-Qt · GitHub
