I installed Godot Game Engine to give it a try. I got a problem and I asked through godot official discord channel and godot related channels. I still got no fix for my problem. So I came here to ask as a hope.
I Installed "Godot c#" app from Software Store. Which is snap (no idea what is snap) and I can't create my first project bcoz it's say "can't create folder" when I tried to create a project folder through godot. they (other peoples from discord) say snap need permission and I tried what they say but can't fix.
If there's someone who's using godot in linux. Please guide me. I need your help.
Snap and Flatpak are alternative packaging systems to the standard APT package management we currently use.
The problem with Snap and Flatpak is that they are double-sandboxed. This means that they are isolated from the system, lacking system permissions.
I recommend removing the snap package for Godot
sudo snap remove godot
Install with APT instead:
sudo apt install godot3
I can't "sudo snap remove godot" b'coz I installed godot through Software store, which tell me I'm installing Godot Game Engine C# as snap pckage, I have no idead what is snap and I got no choice. There is no other godot with c#, I saw only one which is snap pkg, then I did installed it. Now I can't used "sudo snap remove godot" coz i tried and not working. It's say " ~$ sudo snap remove godot
snap "godot" is not installed " I'm so sorry. I'm pretty basic user for linux.
in terminal, you can run
snap list
to see the proper package name listed for godot.
You also can remove godot (snap) using the Software Store, just as you installed it.
For installing; you may need some additional packages:
here is what I found

That does not show Godot listed as a Snap installed package...
Behaps he installed it as flatpak? It's listed in the software center as the first godot app as a flat.
@soemintun You can see if a an app is a flat or snap or a .deb by scrolling down and see the source of it.
or list the flatpak apps that are installed by:
flatpak list
yeah, sorry for late reply.
And I tried again today and I think found it
it say Source: snapcraft.io
and here too
soe@soe-NG-i660:~$ snap list

I think I found what is my problem is.
Actually, Godot has limited access permissions only to
/home/soe/
not to other places.
I didn't know that and I tried to create a project folder to
/mnt/personal/Projects/godot
