Skype joins the Snap package list

The integration of Skype as a Snap package ensures that all users can access the latest version of the application as soon as it is released and packaged in this format. Skype supports the roll-back feature, which allows you to go back to a previous version in case of problems.

Among the systems that support Snap we find some of the most important such as Linux Mint, Manjaro, Debian, Arch Linux, OpenSUSE, Solus and Ubuntu. Users of all these systems will have a much easier time using the latest version, since they will not depend on its inclusion in the repositories of the distribution.
