Hey I’ve been thinking about switching some of my computers over to Aurora or Bazzite but theres one specific app that is snap only that I want to run. Is there a way to run snapd on any of the ublue oses? Thanks!
What application specifically? We do not recommend layering snapd and there are no plans to ship it for Bazzite/Bluefin/Aurora.
I have reached out to them to see if they would be interested in creating a flatpak or appimage version but they arnt interested 
oh wow they straight up said snap only 
i have no idea. you can layer snapd with rpm-ostree but i’m not sure what issues that would cause down the road. may want to wait to see if anyone else responds.
So I found this! In here they add some symlinks and install snapd.
But then i also found this! Home directories outside of '/home' | Snapcraft documentation
so it looks like snap only needs a single symlink from /snap to /var/lib/snapd/snap. So i make a fresh vm install of kinoite and added the single systemd unit file to make that one symlink then installed snap, rebooted, then enabled all the systemd units (snapd, snapd socket and snapd symlink) and lastly set the home dir change and now i can run snaps!

I imagine since i got it working on kinoite it should be trivial to do the same steps on bazzite etc
