   LM does not have SNAP installed by default, but   
   you can install it if you want. If you did install   
   it, then the SNAP commands would be part of your   
   operations manual.   
      
   Some of the commands, are shell commands (like bash shell).   
   You would run into the bash shell in a terminal environment,   
   in a lot of Linux distros. The lessons you learn about   
   bash and the shell helpers, are lessons you can reuse elsewhere.   
      
   But some other things, might be politics/religion/business-interests   
   and so those need separate comments about their operation and   
   whether they're installed or not. For example, Flatpack, I uninstall   
   that if I find it present, and that's because I believe it should be   
   optional like SNAP. I noticed some amount of traffic that did not   
   belong on the box, when I wasn't actually using Flatpack, and   
   based on that experience, that is on my "uninstall until you want   
   to use it" list. Normally, softwares are good at sitting   
   quietly with their hands folded, when not in use, and   
   that's my mental model of well-behaved software. I don't   
   want a software minting Bitcoins in their spare time, because   
   someone installed them.
