@metana You can try this

wget https://api.snapcraft.io/api/v1/snaps/download/AljMvoQbHtnnrka00lIoxHJ6Qhfn0X8m_410.snap
sudo snap install --dangerous AljMvoQbHtnnrka00lIoxHJ6Qhfn0X8m_410.snap

@metana Yes. It gets full screened and stuck. It seems like it might be related to the razor thin handles the opera window has in linux.. maybe i'm just not grabbing the handle because it barely exists. Either way, they borked a bunch of stuff with the latest update.
