Get Zenkit on Any Linux Distribution!

We’re happy to announce that Zenkit is available in the Snap Store today! After the recent release of our desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux, we wanted to dive deeper into the Linux community.

We’re able to deliver Zenkit as a ‘snap’ — the universal Linux application packaging format — which we built using the Snapcraft tool. If you don’t know what a snap is, they are these amazing little things that allow publishers to push updates automatically and work universally across all of the most popular Linux distributions. No more worrying about your distro not being supported. Snaps just generally rock, making them super easy to download and implement.

Snaps are supported on over 10 of the most popular Linux distributions, including; Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Gentoo, Fedora, and Yocto. That means that no matter what your OS is, you can access your favourite apps and not worry about stability.

If you’re a Linux user and you want to give it a spin, here’s how you can install Zenkit as a Snap:

1. Download the snapd software for your Linux OS device.

2. Go to https://snapcraft.io/zenkit or to the snap store and search for Zenkit

3. Download the Zenkit snap using the command line.

The link to download the Zenkit snap is also available on in the Linux dropdown menu.

If it isn’t clear yet, we love Linux. They are among the most passionate Zenkit users and that is really important to us. We consider Linux to be first class-citizens alongside MacOS and Windows.

With this release, we also join a club of software developers that have made a conscious decision to adopt this awesome system. For example, the teams at Skype, Slack, and Spotify have also recently released their own Snap packages.

We’re very excited about this release and look forward to hearing from the community.

You can let us know in the comments below, or send Siobhan and the team an email at: service@zenkit.com.

Cheers,

Eric and the Zenkit Team

We want you to feel welcome to comment with your own thoughts, feedback, and critiques, however we do not welcome inappropriate or rude comments. We reserve the right to delete comments or ban users from commenting as needed to keep our comments section relevant and respectful.

What we encourage:

Smart, informed, and helpful comments that contribute to the topic. Funny commentary is also thoroughly encouraged.

Constructive criticism, either of the article itself or the ideas contained in it.

Noticed spam or inappropriate behaviour that we haven’t yet sorted out? Flag the comment or report the offending post to hello@zenkit.com.

What we’d rather you avoid:

Rude or inappropriate comments

We welcome heated discourse, and we’re aware that some topics cover things people feel passionately about. We encourage you to voice your opinions, however in order for discussions to remain constructive, we ask that you remember to criticize ideas, not people.

Please avoid:

name-calling

ad hominem attacks

responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content

knee-jerk contradiction

Comments that we find to be hateful, inflammatory, threatening, or harassing may be removed. This includes racist, gendered, ableist, ageist, homophobic, and transphobic slurs and language of any sort. If you don’t have something nice to say about another user, don't say it. Treat others the way you’d like to be treated.

Trolling or generally unkind behaviour

If you’re just here to wreak havoc and have some fun, and you’re not contributing meaningfully to the discussions, we will take actions to remove you from the conversation. Please also avoid flagging or downvoting other users’ comments just because you disagree with them.

Spam

Every interpretation of spamming is prohibited. This means no unauthorized promotion of your own brand, product, or blog, unauthorized advertisements, links to any kind of online gambling, malicious sites, or otherwise inappropriate material.

Comments that are irrelevant or that show you haven’t read the article

We know that some comments can veer into different topics at times, but remain related to the original topic. Be polite, and please avoid promoting off-topic commentary. Ditto avoid complaining we failed to mention certain topics when they were clearly covered in the piece. Make sure you read through the whole piece before saying your piece!

Breaches of privacy

This should really go without saying, but please do not post personal information that may be used by others for malicious purposes. Please also do not impersonate authors of this blog, or other commenters (that’s just weird).
