Snaps are universal linux packages that allow Bolt to be installed on any linux distro. Shipping a snap (package?) would theoretically mean we could support a variety of linux distros by just shipping one package, including Arch (which I think we've had at least one person ask for).
The question is 1. How much work will it be to add and maintain support for Snaps, and 2. Does that actually translate to being able to install on these platforms: https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd
