You can have both of them installed at the same time, they don't interfere. Snaps keep their configuration in a dedicated directory and don't have access to hidden directories in your home folder. You can even install multiple versions of the same snap at the same time, e.g. the stable version and the daily builds.

Re: Assembly3 preview
That's great - thank you!
What is this directory? and I presume it applies to macro directory as well?
It would be good to explain it to potential users of snap?

Re: Assembly3 preview
The directory for all FreeCAD stuff is $SNAP_USER_COMMON, which translates to $HOME/snap/freecad-ppd/common.
The stable version (0.19.3) creates .FreeCAD in this directory, where you can find all the usual subdirectories:
Do you need to interact with those directories directly? How would you explain it to users? This discussion should probably move to another thread though.

Re: Assembly3 preview
Thank you!
and and the answers are:
yes - I need to interact with these directories when installing (for example) macros
yes - I need access to (for example) create config backup?
BTW - if I have more than one version of snap how do I share commong config settings?
yes - it would be good to have a thread (install subforum?) dedicated to handling snaps
Re: Assembly3 preview
Can you please, (or anybody else who can do it?) separate last 14 posts into a dedicated topic (install FreeCAD with snap), probably in the install subforum?chrisb wrote:...ping...
They apply both to Link branch and Master branch equally (both are available in snap) and do not belong here in Assembly 3 thread...

Re: Realthunder's Link branch Snap packages
Assembly3 has an install dialog for py_slvs included nowadays. No need to use the terminal.
Maybe set FREECAD_USER_DATA to the same directory for all? Somewhere in the home folder, where the snaps have access, i.e. not in hidden directories.

if you dumb you suffer sorry and thank you!
