I have just upgraded from 16.04 to 20.04 and I read that there is a new package manager called snap
. However I still also have apt
. Moreover, when I do
snap list
I see a package called python3, version 3.8.0, by a publisher called "om26er" (no idea who this is).
I did not know anything about snap until this morning; I certainly did not install anything by snap myself. How did this python installation got into my computer? And how should I remove it without damaging my system?
More generally: I am quite confused by the fact that I have both apt
and snap
. How do these two package managers work together? Should I use only one of them and not the other? Sorry for the newbie question - all I want is to have a stable system so that I can get back to work.
