Hello,
so I'm dual booting Zorin os lite (up to date) with Win10 and after few days i was unable to install apps from software center/store with the error message:
Sometimes the app gets actually installed but after some minutes it just disappears with the same error message.
I have tried to reinstall the store and also tried to install the app using the terminal (sudo snap install spotify)
After i tried reinstalling snapd another "error" message was showing everytime i opened store saying:
Thanks for reply but,
I've tried to install spotify the way you said and that worked (hopefully it won't disappear), but i still cannot install anything using snapd.
Listed commands to fix snapd did nothing and sudo apt install --reinstall zorin-os-desktop showed these errors:
dpkg: ubuntu-docs: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested:
gnome-user-docs depends on ubuntu-docs (>= 18.04.1~) | zorin-os-docs (>= 15.0); however:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Also out of nowhere sudo apt update is now showing this error:
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/synapse-core/ppa/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
We can probably fix that... But in this, I recommend Discord from the Repository. OR...
Better Discord.
For one, the Snap and the APT packages for discord are exactly the same.
Two, the Apt package works better and meshes better.
If you really just prefer Snap, please see post #8 here:
