What unifies this impressive portfolio is the fact that all of these snaps are made for the x86 platform. Not anymore. Now, don’t panic! The x86 snaps are not going anywhere. But ARM-supported KDE snaps are --- Desktop #### [The new classic confinement in snaps – Even the classics need a change](https://canonical.com/blog/the-new-classic-confinement-in-snaps-even-the-classics-need-a-change) As part of their fundamental, security-driven design, snaps are meant to run isolated from the underlying system. In most cases, the idea works well, and granular access to system resources using the mechanism of interfaces allows snap developers to ship their applications packaged with strict confinement. However, there are some scenario --- Company #### [Snapping PhotoNoteBook: Lessons from the kitchen table, or: How an Android app got converted to a Linux snap](https://canonical.com/blog/snapping-photonotebook-lessons-from-the-kitchen-table-or-how-an-android-app-got-converted-to-a-linux-snap) This article was written by Alan Watson, with only small cosmetic changes from me. Having stumbled upon PhotoNoteBook, I asked Alan to write a guest blog post and share his project with the wider snap developer community. ===== The idea for PhotoNoteBook was seeded in 2018 after watching a Double-Glazing salesman measure my windows.
