Installing snap package

I have several applications that I’d like to install to my Endless OS system. The problem is that those apps are provided in snaps, not FlatPaks. So, can I install those apps in Endless OS?

From version 3.0 on, Endless OS uses Flatpak, a new app distribution system for Linux

what apps? The catalog of applications in Snap format is not so broad, on the other hand the bet of EndlessOS is clear with respect to the use of the Flatpak format and it is wiser to use alternatives while the most requested applications begin to use Flatpak.

Well, it is an app called Anbox, which only available in snaps, and also some custom company applications. Guess I, as a developer, should start to package my apps in FlatPak as well, since it seems to be more widely supported these days.

Anbox was created specifically for Ubuntu and so point their continuous improvements, however, support for Flatpak is work in progress. For the case it is better to go directly to the author and ask if the Flatpak support is in their to do list.
