It's like i don't really understand the first step....modifying .bashrc to drop into fish...How will i do that?
This might be a dumb question to some users....but please break it down for me

This is basic stuff. Using the terminal, entering commands and modifying files is quite normal in Linux.

You need to do some research, as was advised. Here is a good link provided by @BrutalBirdie -

It is your system, therefore your responsiblity, we can not hold hands. Our time is given free, but there are limits to this, I'm afraid

Just a picture of the Linux Filesystem, set this as your Desktop wallpaper so you can take a look at it every time you see your desktop. :slight_smile:

Knowing where you are and where to find something can be useful.

Snapd is slightly tricky but does work.

First, make sure that your /etc/os-release file includes the line "ID_LIKE=arch".
Now, use Add/Remove software to build snapd.
Finally, from a terminal, type the following:

 $ sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket

Now reboot and it should all work.

Odd, but I've never had issues just installing flatpak from Add/Remove Software.
