Easier for Ubuntu users. Is *anyone* else shipping snap? Also, putting
half a distro inside a snap package (all of Mesa, half the DRM chain,
lots of audio/networking support, 64 and 32 bit versions of dozens and
dozens of libraries) doesn't seem like a particularly maintainable
effort, even for Canonical.

But yay for Ubuntu users, not running Nvidia, who want Steam and the
whole supporting cast in a single monolithic package. All ten of them.

Just seems like a new and more exciting wheel, with more eggs in fewer baskets.
