For the record the command line process is:
$ sudo snap install atom
error: This revision of snap "atom" was published using classic confinement and
thus may perform
arbitrary system changes outside of the security sandbox that snaps are
usually confined to,
which may put your system at risk.
If you understand and want to proceed repeat the command including
--classic.
$ sudo snap install --classic atom
