It’s that time of the month! Didier has put together a selection of top ten snaps written in February ranging from blockchain to graphical applications.
To recap for those that may not know, snaps are a new way for developers to package their apps, bringing with it many advantages over the more traditional package formats such as .deb, .rpm, and others. They are secure, isolated and allow apps to be rolled back should an issue occur. Snaps really are the future of Linux application packaging. Check out the top ten snaps below!

1. Openstack-cli A command-line client for OpenStack that brings the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Object Store and Block Storage APIs together. |
