Xonotic is available on the Ubuntu Snap Store - SpiKe - 07-13-2018

Hello,
I found out today that Xonotic is available as a "Snap" package: https://snapcraft.io/xonotic
Since Snaps are an Ubuntu tech, it probably means that Xonotic is now available to install from the Ubuntu Software Center!

It looks like this package is maintained by a Canonical employee: https://github.com/snapcrafters/xonotic


Snaps are self-contained packages that don't require any complex dependency (except for the snap daemon itself).
Unfortunately, although being advertized as available on "all major Linux systems", snaps are mostly used on Ubuntu, the other Linux distributions make use of the "Flatpak" alternative.

I don't use Ubuntu myself so I can't test it, but if some Ubuntu user could test this package it would be cool Big Grin 
I wonder if it's playable without any issue or if there are some drawbacks.
