I try to install something from "Software", and then a window pops up, asking me to register at Ubuntu One - this is needed for installing snap packages.
I usually use apt from the command line. Is there a way to use the Software Center and/or snap without registering somewhere? I'm tired of opening user accounts. Is there a way to use snaps anonymously?
You can install some snap packages from the store, without signing in to an Ubuntu One account, from the command line using
sudo snap install $package. However, it is up to the developer of the snap if they wish to allow installation of their package without logging in. Having an account logged in or not has no relation to anonymity though (no PII is required to create an account).
