[Bug 1575053] Re: Please move the "$HOME/snap" directory to a less obtrusive location

2022-04-10 Thread Kevin Dong 
For someone who is still struggling with this,
https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/experimental-flag-for-hiding-snap/28509 may help.

It seems that
sudo snap set system experimental.hidden-snap-folder=true
works and puts data in ~/.snap/data, but snap still creates an empty ~/snap on 
app startups.

[Bug 1575053] Re: Please move the "$HOME/snap" directory to a less obtrusive location

2020-08-27 Thread Kevin Dong 
For whom does not care about multi users and backward compatibility,
this is actually quite straightforward to change the snap directory from
'$HOME/snap' to '$HOME/.snap'. Change the hard-coded path and the
apparmor rule is fairly enough for release 2.46:
