Good news! 0ad is in the store :slight_smile:

@oSoMoN built a snap. Give it a test! :slight_smile:

name:      play0ad
summary:   "Real-time strategy game of ancient warfare"
publisher: osomon
contact:   https://launchpad.net/~osomon
description: |
  0 A.D. (pronounced "zero ey-dee") is a free, open-source, cross-platform
  real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare. In short, it is a
  historically-based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite
  the history of Western civilizations, focusing on the years between 500 B.C.
  and 500 A.D. The project is highly ambitious, involving state-of-the-art 3D
  graphics, detailed artwork, sound, and a flexible and powerful custom-built
  game engine.

That’s really cool, will give it a try! Thanks @oSoMoN :slight_smile:

Please note that to work fully confined the game requires the connection of the process-control interface:

snap install play0ad
snap connect play0ad:process-control :process-control
play0ad.0ad

And enjoy!

This requirement should go away in the near future (see that other thread for technical details).

Would like all of these:

Tvheadend
ffmpeg
Kodi

Also, can drivers be put into snaps? The drivers for the TV tuner cards (terrestrial and satellite) from TBS Technologies (see http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/, note most of the cards use the same Linux driver package) have never been included in the Linux kernel for some odd reason, and have to be rebuilt and reinstalled every time there is a kernel update (and there are way too many kernel updates IMHO, but that’s a whole other discussion). I wonder if there is any way such drivers could be included in snap packages, or are snaps for applications only?

Picasa is top of my list.
Still the best/easiest photo organiser and simple editor. Sorry f-spot et al.
Especially if you already have decades of photos already stored and edited.
Gimp/darktable are good for photos you want to give special attention, but for large numbers it has to be picasa.
Picasa 3.0.0 is fine by me - I sync to the web using other tools. I have deb package picasa-3.0.0-build-57.4402.deb installed on Ubuntu 12.04. I think it works OK on 14.04?, but not on 16.04.
That’s one reason I still run 12.04. A snap package would be GREAT!

RetroArch OpenSource frontend for the many libretro emulator cores

Dolphin(emulator) OpenSource Nintendo Wii and GameCube emulator

Lutris OpenSource gaming platform for Linux. Great way to manage games from multiple sources (Steam, GoG, itch.io, WINE, etc)

PlayOnLinux OpenSource manager for WINE. Great way to manage multiple WINE bottles and different versions of WINE easily

I don’t have an app to recommend, but rather either a feature request or a bug report (not sure which.) I like running LibreOffice as a snap, but even installed in classic mode it will not utilize my fonts in ~/.fonts. I’m pretty sure Inkscape will do this. I’m unsure how to pass this request along to the snap maintainer for LibreOffice. Any ideas on how to make this known? For a word processing app, I think that the ability to use custom fonts is a pretty big deal.

Thanks!

How about the Ubuntu/GNOME Center itself? It’d be nice to get those updates out of band since I’m not going to get a fresh version in 16.04, and it also would let LTS users get the latest snap/GUI goodness.

Hello. I would like to Rambox, Steam, and maybe a closed source programs (Google Chrome, Opera…etc) The best think of create one snap port from independent developers.

And please, make look like the snappy in terminal as DNF (from fedora) The DNF is pretty, orderly, and transparent. APT is just work, but not transparent. Please don’t break snappy and the world linux users be happy! :smiley: :wink:

For dev: NodeJS (stable (LTS) and beta (current) channel), Nginx, Apache, php, MySQL, rust, golang, Android Studio and oracle jdk, Qt Creator, Tilix, NetBeans, FileZilla

For media: Darktable (updated), Gimp (stable and beta channel), DigiKam, Rawtherapee.

For other: kde-connect, Firefox, VirtualBox

If there is a way to talk to Blackmagic Design to release their Fusion8 and DaVinci Resolve as snaps that would be the greatest thing ever. Also having Steam as a snap would be so cool. :smiley:
