Oh i see you don’t have any snaps installed. Thats good.
Can you validate that with
sudo snap list --all
The snap folder in there is a symlink from the ln -s command. Normally the guides assume that a /snap folder isn’t present, but since snap wasn’t putting into the correct path and had already created /snap the command instead created one inside the already present folder.
You can just go ahead and unlink that with
Yeah I just tried installing the “Zeplin” snap after this last post via the software GUI manager and about 15% in or so it got stuck and didn’t move. So I closed out and went to the terminal. When trying to install hello world it appear to freeze too. I ran “sudo systemctl start snapd” at some point and then tried to install hello world again and it said it was installed. Then I tried “zeplin” from the terminal and it worked! Thanks again now I don’t have to boot into windows
I ran the unlink command and here is the output of the other one
sudo snap list --all:

Arch and some other distros run their snaps from /var/lib/snapd/snap but some of the older snaps that still run in classic mode expect to be present in /snap because it is where they were originally put and is still the default on a lot of distros.
Creating the symlink will allow those app’s that still use that mode to be installed. Tho i don’t think many are still around and they would complain when you try to install them so it isn’t strictly necessary.
Glad you got it all working. If you run into anymore issues don’t hesitate to let us know
