Packaging application as snap
Chronos:
After many hours of trying and with help from snapcraft.io forum I was able to get sound working for snapped C-evo game. See https://wiki.freepascal.org/Create_snap_package#Sound_support
Also I've snapped one more game: https://snapcraft.io/2048x
Chronos:
Two more snapped apps:
https://snapcraft.io/big-metro
https://snapcraft.io/xtactics
So in total, there are now four Lazarus apps https://snapcraft.io/search?q=chronoscz
Chronos:
Nine Lazarus/FPC applications published as snaps to date and more to come:

https://snapcraft.io/big-metro
https://snapcraft.io/c-evo

Although snaps aren't without their problems still, it is another nice way how to reach wider Linux users audience. Also in this way users can enjoy using latest application versions even with older Ubuntu versions like 20.04 LTS.

Hmm, thats the trend is it ? As a very long term Ubuntu user, I am about to switch because of these Snaps clogging up my system. They appear to be a solution in search of a problem to solve.
But good to see FPC/Lazarus penetrating even that market ! Thanks Chronos.
