What are the dangers of using snap's classic confinement?












0














While following a video tutorial on Linux bash scripting, the teacher uses atom for editor.



When I did I tried to install atom :



*sudo snap install atom*


I got the message:



error: This revision of snap "atom" was published using classic confinement and thus may perform
arbitrary system changes outside of the security sandbox that snaps are usually confined to,
which may put your system at risk.
If you understand and want to proceed repeat the command including --classic.



What would you do/suggest?
