This script will work on any Ubuntu based linux distro with snaps using `gnome desktop environment`.\n\nP.S.: This script will work on any other Ubuntu based linux distro using desktop managers other than 'gnome' but be prepared for the 'gtk apps'.\n\nIf you need `kde software center` instead of gnome software center, you can check out [this repo](https://github.com/sudeepbm/snap-to-flatpak-kde).\n\n## Running the script\n\nClone [this](https://github.com/sudeepbm/snap-to-flatpak.git) repo or download the zip from [releases](https://github.com/sudeepbm/snap-to-flatpak/releases) section and unzip it.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"Images/snap-to-flatpak releases.png\" alt=\"releases\" align=\"center\"/\u003e\n\n``` {.bash}\ngit clone https://github.com/sudeepbm/snap-to-flatpak.git\n```\n\n\u003cimg src=\"Images/snap-to-flatpak git clone.png\" alt=\"git clone\" align=\"center\"/\u003e\n\nThen move to the snap-to-flatpak directory\n\n``` {.bash}\ncd snap-to-flatpak\n```\n\nMake the script executable by the following command.\n\n``` {.bash}\nchmod +x snap-to-flatpak\n```\n\n\u003cimg src=\"Images/snap-to-flatpak chmod.png\" alt=\"chmod\" align=\"center\"/\u003e\n\nThen run `snap-to-flatpak.sh` script as a sudo user.\n\n``` {.bash}\nsudo ./snap-to-flatpak\n```\n\nAfter this confirm to execute the script by typing `Y` or `y` or `YES` or `yes`. If you want to terminate the execution of the script at this stage, type `N` or `n` or `NO` or `no`.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"Images/snap-to-flatpak execute.png\" alt=\"execute\" align=\"center\"/\u003e\n\nNote : Please make sure to execute this script as a sudo user.\n\n## Working of the script\n\n1. The script will list all snap packages installed and remove them one by one until all snaps are removed completely. Then it will remove the snapd package permanently. It will then create a preference file to prevent the downloading of snaps in future.\n\n1. The script will then install [**`Gnome Software Centre`**](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Software).\n\n1. `Firefox` will be installed from the official mozilla repositories and creates a preference file to give priority to the mozilla repositories for future updates of Firefox.\n\n1. **[`Flatpak`](https://flatpak.org)** support will be added by installing flatpak plugin for the gnome software centre and adding the flatpak repo.\n\n1. Wait patiently for the script to complete it's work.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"Images/script complete.png\" alt=\"script complete\" align=\"center\"/\u003e\n\n_**Note : This script will delete all data of snap packages and will not be recoverable unless you have taken an earlier backup**_\n\n## Feedback\n\nIf you have any feedback, please reach out to me at [Mail](mailto:contact-me_github.w4cp8@aleeas.com) \n\n## Authors\n\n- [@sudeepbm](https://www.github.com/sudeepbm) \n\n## Friendly notice\n\n**It is important to clarify that the intention here is not to criticize the quality of Snaps or to cause any form of harm. The provided script intends to offer assistance to individuals who hold a preference for Flatpaks.**\n\n## Disclaimer\nThis script is provided as-is.
