Introduction

Snap offers a number of advantages over traditional package management systems, including portability, atomic updates, confined execution, automatic updates, rollback, and easy installation. It is recommended to use it for a single installation on the system (lower disk usage).

You can install BlueBox tools on Linux for Verified builds (monthly) and Hot fix builds (weekly). The difference between it is explained in winIDEA Release Notes.
