<div style="color: #333; font-size: 12pt; margin: 36px 0 16px; font-weight: bold;">About snaps and Snap Store</div>
Snap is a universal package that is available for any Linux OS running snapd: Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Fedora, CentOS, elementary OS, Manjaro Linux, openSUSE, Solus, Zorin OS, etc.
Snaps work on various Linux distributions without modification, since they already contain all the necessary dependencies.
Snaps are:
<ul>
<li>quick to install with a single command;</li>
<li>easy to refresh, as the snapd system uses automatic and transactional updates;</li>
<li>safe to run because they are separated from the operating system, other applications, and hardware functions.</li>
</ul>
You can check the official <a href="https://snapcraft.io/docs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">snap documentation</a> to learn more about how to work with snaps and manage them.
The <a href="https://snapcraft.io/store" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Snap Store</a> allows users to browse and install snaps, get the necessary info about applications, see screenshots and some statistics. For instance, we can see that two most popular distros on which ONLYOFFICE snap is used are Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04:
