Just curious!
Haven't tried it in a while and if some faithful user can corroborate this or not, it would be appreciated.

Re: Does LMDE support Flatpak and Snap?
Flatpak can be installed from the Jessie backports repository. See Debian howto: https://wiki.debian.org/FlatpakHowto. That would be command-line only as Software Manager on LMDE 2 does not support Flatpak, like Software Manager does on Linux Mint 18.3.
Snap does not appear to be available on LMDE 2 through the Debian repositories.
Both Flatpak and Snap will be easily installable on LMDE 3. Whether Software Manager on LMDE 3 will also support Flatpak like it will do on Linux Mint 19 I don't know yet.

Thank you the tip Xenopeek.
If i need help with the command line, i'll make a post here.
Seems like Flatpak is the way to go and it can only be a huge plus for LMDE.

It looks like LMDE 3's Software Manager will indeed support Flatpak out of the box.
Re: Does LMDE support Flatpak and Snap?
Yay!
Snap maybe too?
Surprised there is no mention of either in Clem's monthly letter.

Doesn't look like snap support is in the cards.
Re: Does LMDE support Flatpak and Snap?
Not a snap user, but very curious. (snapd is in the stretch repos "Tool to interact with Ubuntu Core Snappy.")
is this relevant?
"Unity is even discontinued by Canonical... though now there's a project to make indicators available on other distros, without dependencies on Unity stuff.

Re: Does LMDE support Flatpak and Snap?
Sorry, to clarify, I mean as in it's unlikely to be supported in Software Manager on LMDE 3. What you can do on command line to possibly installs snaps that way is something other.
