Supporting legacy apps in Snappy Desktop
Registered by
Michael Hall
While a snappy desktop offers many advantages to users and developers, there are going to be a number of older or 3rd apps that will not be converted into snap packages right away. We need a way to allow users to still use these applications, without giving up the convenience and security that snappy provides.
