Downloading most Snapd packages without systemd


How can we download most Snapd packages without systemd daemon/service or further without Snapd altogether, but instead by another definitive workaround method?

You can but from the following thread it is more complicated installing the snap then just downloading a regular package without installing using apt or apt-get.

Is the issue that you're running MX without systemd?
(that seems to be the MX default, and snap complains PID 1 isn't systemd)

IF so, MX has a grub option for advanced boot options, one of which is to use systemd.

I did that, and snap worked (tho I'd prefer static-ly linked binaries, vs. snap's mess of pkg's files & mounts!)
